4. At the Fall 2010 Board meeting, it was announced that Sculpted  forms  joined  Single,  Double,  Polymerous,  Spider  and Unusual  form  as  recognized  forms of Hemerocallis for registration purposes.

5. Form is defined as “the shape or structure of a daylily flower

8. The following presentation provides the terms and definitions for Sculpted form and the three distinct sub-groups of Pleated, Relief and Cristate with detailed explanations.

9. The official definition of SCULPTED : A term used to describe three- dimensional structural features involving or emanating from the throat, midrib or elsewhere on the petal surface. Sculpted Forms belong to one of three different groups: Pleated, Relief or Cristate.

10. The definition for the sub-group PLEATED: Petals that have a deep longitudinal crease on each side of the midrib. These creases cause folding of the petal upon itself creating a raised platform extending from the perianth tube and ending between the throat and petal tip.

11. Sculpted Pleated Unusual Form Crispate

32. The definition for the sub-group RELIEF: The Relief forms are characterized by vertically raised ridges that extend from the throat and project from the petal surface. The ridges may grow parallel to the veins, or they may radiate outwards from each side of the midrib.

52. The definition for the sub-group CRISTATE: A term that refers to appendages of extra petal tissue growing from the midrib or elsewhere on the surface of the petals. When the tissue grows from the midribs, the form is called “Midrib Cristate”. Cristate can occur on single and double daylilies, but by itself, does not make a daylily double.
