(Reed, 2011)  50+”  MLa  8-9”  dormant, diploid, Spider

         OK, I have gone over to the dark side:  a true spider!  Alien Stardust has a 5:1 spider ratio, with all tepals rolling back.  The form varies from open star to cascade.  So it is a spider, an unusual form, and an extra large bloom (and tall).  It has deep 3-way branching with about 24 buds.  The basic color is light yellow, with stippling/dusting of rose and a green throat.  Stunning light color in the late garden, the size grabs attention.  Parentage is:  (Kirsten Madeline Burkey x North Wind Dancer).  Limited: only about six plants available now.
