The Cascade forms have "narrow segments
which have prounouced curling or cascading and which revolve upon themselves
in the manner of a wood shaving" (The Daylily Journal, Vol. 53, No.3,
Fall 98, pg 315). This group encompasses many elegantly curled flowers that
are too large or full-formed to be classified as spiders and yet possess
distinction in style and poise that set them apart in a group of their own.
The floral segments are usually smooth and the flower face usually flat-open,
with the segments curling back and sometimes relaxing to cascade in the
fashion of curly locks of hair hanging loosely from a Victorian wig. Excellent
examples are the pinks: 'Medusa's Glance', 'All American Windmill', 'Orchid
Corsage', and 'Lilting Belle', the boldly-eyed 'Kirstin's Corsage', the
magnificent bicoloured 'Karen's Curls' and the polychrome 'Persimmone''.
