Spiderweb

Spiderweb

Quotes and photos of mother plant courtesy of the ... Origin and History page on Facebook with names abbreviated for privacy:

"The mother stand was planted over 40 years ago in San Jose, CA. The owner stated to me as such. When she moved to SJ, she brought it with her as a small plant from SoCal, where she previously lived. She’s enjoyed watching it grow and especially loves when it blooms.

"The 'discovery' happened March 2021 while I was out for a walk with my four year old son. I saw the stand far back in her yard with sun shining through the spines. I decided to knock on the house’s door and say hello.

"The owner spoke to my son and I, happily talking about her plants. I didn’t know much about the plant, except that I thought it was unique. I took pictures, and first shared them with SW to ask his opinions. The owner gave me a pup that happened to be on the ground. I then posted pictures to TTC asking for ID input. The thread became very active with discussion, some people accusing me of poaching (which I would never do)(I later proved with a video testimonial from the owner stating all was on the up n up. I shared this video with the TTC admins FF can attest to this).

"My son and I were invited back days later to buy cuttings. I asked if I could bring SW into the picture to purchase some himself for his website Total Prick Nursery. The owner was and still is very happy to share with SW and I. Both SW and I cut with the owners direction and brought the plant to the community.

"The name 'Spiderweb' was given by my son. He loves Spiderman and thought it was a perfect name. I agreed and shared it as such.

"SW marketed the plant in his website for sale. I used my cuttings to trade for other plants. As of today, I have not sold any cuttings, just gifted and traded.

"As far as how we should classify Spiderweb, I’m not an authority on these things, but the consensus has been [peru], with [macro] traits. I’ll leave this to the OGs to say with better authority." CI 10/2/21

 

In my (JS) personal opinion, Spiderweb looks similar to macros such as the Poots peru #1 and Kaksters RS0004, but to be clear I am not stating that it is the same plant. The cuttings distributed as Spiderweb come from a single plant found growing in San Jose and prior to the Spiderweb distribution CI states "the stand owner has never shared this before. In fact, for decades she would cut it back and throw it away because she didn’t think it had value beyond her own enjoyment."
