Angel - Crapzilla, Batman, that's one big rose! That's a definite competition to Dolly Parton or Memorial Day any day as far as size alone! I don't even think my Medallion got that big (but, then again, last year sucked as far as roses). WOW, that definitely put that rose much higher up on my acquisition list (doing rose shopping Thurs & Fri). BUT! Spiders have 8 legs, not 6. 6 = insectoid, 8 = arachnid. Pic of speederspider?
And in off topic: California is one of the few states I've never been to. I've been to all but the western side of the US.. missed out on Cali, Oregon, Wash, Alaska, & Hawaii. And haven't traveled much, don't have time or money (especially with my canaries.. really can't travel when you have 30+ birds at home that need daily care).
You're so lucky!!
