This might be something worth breeding for. As my collection grows I do much less deadheading than I used to; this makes me very aware of how DLs wind down their blooms. Three that make very large messy blobs are: Wild One / Chicago Arnie's Choice / Jerusalem. Jerusalem is especially bad as the blooms (bright and beautiful as they may be) are in a tight clump at the top, and it is very hard to deadhead without knocking off a few buds. On the other hand, I just noticed that when Aabachee closes it twists the bloom in a tight spiral and dries to just a line. Very neat and tidy. This is probably a characteristic of spiders vs fat blooms?
Peanut Butter Frenzy makes a lovely bouquet with blooms in all states of ending and beginning. The colors of all stages together are really captivating.
