JAN'S TWISTER
This VARIABLE CRISPATA has exceptional substance
and is therefore one of the most rain and sun-proof of the KINDLY LIGHT
children that I know of. Very well branched once established, it is both
pollen and pod fertile, yielding many seeds from those pollen donors that
it takes a liking to. Nocturnally-opening, JAN'S TWISTER looks exceptional
in heat where the inherent curl-twisting crispation pattern becomes more
apparent. In cooler weather it opens perfectly and has a rich light melon
pigmentation but can remain a bit flat.
Seedlings from this exceptional CRISPATA have
been vigorous and ranging in form from very spider-like CLASSIC SPIDERS
to much wider SPATULATES and Variable CRISPATAS. I undestand that the scapes
on JAN"S TWISTER need assisitance in standing on certain soils. I have
never had this problem on our clay-like sediment or at the nursery in the
deep, sandy alluvial soil.
