Cathy,

The spider variant category was eliminated a few years ago. Spiders must now
have a length to width ratio of 4.0:1 or higher
(http://www.daylilies.org/ahs_dictionary/spider.html) . "Ruby Spider' is
included in the Unusual Forms classification (see link:
http://www.daylilies.org/ahs_dictionary/unusual_form.html).  It's kind of
complicated to sort out.  Many daylilies were registered in the wrong
category. Some people consider 'Ruby Spider' just a large, open form
daylily.

What they call a "spider variant", right? What is the standard for a true
spider? I love the "spider" look, regardless.
