Years ago Curt Hanson shared his tetraploid conversion of Jack Carpenter's cristate diploid Texas Feathered Fancy with me. The seedlings from the crosses I made using his conversion can be found in the background of many of the Sculpted cristate seedlings I am currently working with and in future registrations. Thank you Curt!
POSEIDON'S HORSES is a medium rose to pink with dark violet band and lighter multi colored cristation. The heavy pink, cream and yellow cristation grows across the petals in multiple lines, thick and full of jagged knobby edged ridges. Registered with 3 way branching with 15 buds, once settled in 4 way branching and 18 to 20 buds is possible. The blooms can spot from dew, rain or bugs due to the heavy cristation pushing the blooms partly open the evening before blooms are fully open. POSEIDON'S HORSES is fertile both ways, although pods can be difficult. Seeing a variety of expressions in the cristation coming from POSEIDON'S HORSES in the kids and then further down the line in the grandkids makes POSEIDON'S HORSES the most exciting parent for Sculpted cristate forms I've worked with.

RATTLE YOUR BONES is an important advancement in diploid Sculpted forms. Registered as both Sculpted cristate and pleated, this stunning, diploid, crimson red Sculpted form is a step forward to seeing what we have observed in registered Sculpted tetraploids, beautifully Sculpted flowers combining pleating, relief and cristation. The pleating begins deep in a grass green throat and extends outward across the dark crimson red petals. The red cristate fins and flutes rise from the sides of the pleat and are edged in white. Blooms are 6 to 7 inches depending on the amount of curl in the sepals and petals. RATTLE YOUR BONES has 35" tall scapes with 3 way branching and 14 - 17 buds. A mid season bloomer, both an early morning and cold morning opener, RATTLE YOUR BONES is easily fertile both ways and produces large decorative seedpods.

(Rich 2024) Tet, Dor, Late, 6" bloom, 50" tall, 4 - 5 way branching, 20- 25 buds, CMO, EMO, self cleaning
The blooms of SEA BIRD are near white with a pale lavender pink washed eye lined in lavender. A large grass green throat extends onto the petals blending into the washed eye. Sturdy 50" scapes have beautifully spaced wide 4 to 5 way branching and have never needed staking. The 20 - 25 buds start opening in the late season and continue blooming through the cooler very late season where the CMO and EMO abilities are so important for the opening of blooms. While I don't typically hybridize for extra tall or very late bloomers, SEA BIRD has proven to be an outstanding performer for the late to very late season garden and is easily fertile both ways.
