Hmm, not sure what to think about this one. It's a real old one, from 1962, I think. I'm guessing it was an *unusual form* before unusual forms came into fashion? I don't know. I bought it because it was cheap

and tall to fill in an area. I do like the color, though!

I looked it up Bonnie, and it was introduced in 1960...By Buttrick's....

Now there is a name....

I like it!! Thanks for sharing it! I will get me a big yellow spider some day!

It looks Huge-normous ... what's the size of the bloom at it's widest? I love this color ...

Hey Helen, a quick measurement tonight put it at about 6.5 inches across. The specs on this say 5 inches, I think. Also, the color on mine is a better deeper yellow than it has been in previous years. It has usually been a lighter yellow...chalk it up to our weather, I guess
