"Blushing Octopus" [Runway Model X (Lavender Arrowhead x Tetra Skinwalker)] was released by Floyd Cove Nursery in the fall of 2006. 39” scapes have 7 way branching and 35 buds. 11" flowers with a 13" wingspan open early (emo). Spider ratio 4.6:1. Color described as 'lavender pink'. Fertile both ways but a reluctant pod parent.
