From the first seedling bloom, Light Between Oceans has been a personal favorite. These gently pleated extra large 7 1/2" orchid lavender blooms have a light cream yellow watermark covering half of each petal and a grass green throat. The tall 45" scapes support the extra large blooms with no leaning and the wide branching allows each bloom to open fully. Both CMO and EMO Light Between Oceans reblooms and opens completely with the cooler late summer mornings. Light Between Oceans is easily fertile both ways.

The sculpted 6" blooms of Love Stuff are a warm polychrome combining yellow, cream and pink. Consistently pleated and edged with yellow to white fringe and small teeth, the petals can also display light relief and cristation. Northern hardy dormant foliage arches beneath 32" scapes with 3 to 4 way branching and 15 - 18 buds. Beautiful in a clump and a fabulous parent for Sculpted forms.

MAN IN THE MAZE is a light lemon and cream bicolor with a patterned eye that will catch your attention. Shades of copper, violet, silver, gray, lavender and fuchsia combine into a maze of color. Beginning the early season with pattern blooms, later blooms frequently show cristation taking the pattern into another dimension. The clean semi-evergreen foliage and sturdy 29" scapes provide a well proportioned plant to the 4 1/2" blooms. Nicely spaced 3 and 4 way branching with 15 - 18 buds. Pod and pollen fertile.

(Rich 2023) Sculpted cristate, Tet, Dor, Mid, 6" bloom, 31" tall, 4 way branching, 16 -20 buds
Oceans Rising is a light cream yellow with a purple eye and edge. The purple and cream cristate fins rise from the throat onto the petal surface. I almost didn't introduce Oceans Rising because it does not like to be divided and won't show the cristation until it clumps up. After seedlings from crosses with Oceans Rising matured with nice plant habit, 4 and 5 way branching, as well as cristation, I decided other hybridizers might be interested in using it. Parent Painted on Jeans is not cristate however it is parent to my cristate Weird Anatomy and One Planet. A Different Kinda Buzz is from my midrib cristate Man in the Maze so there is plenty of interesting material to work with in the background of Ocean's Rising. Easily fertile with at least one future intro waiting to be registered.

(Rich 2020) Sculpted cristate, Tet, Dor, Late, 5 3/4" bloom, 29" tall, 3 way branching, 15 - 18 buds
These 5 3/4" blooms are a pale yellow cream to cream with a blue violet eye and edge. In shade the eye appears as a pure true blue on a pale cream base. Sunlight adds a touch of red to the blue making the color lean toward blue violet and the base a pale yellow. Almost always cristate, the individual blooms have ruffled cristation on the midrib or feathered cristation on the surface of the petals. On a clump it's not unusual to see several midrib cristate blooms and several blooms with cristation on the surface open on the same day. On the rare occasion there is no cristation the blue eye becomes the focal point and is stunning! Fertile both ways, an excellent parent for both cristation and blue eyes.

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.

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.
