The COCKEREL Crispata

The drawing above is a simplified illustration
of one particular pattern of crispation. The key elements to a COCKEREL
Crispata are smooth petals and quilled sepals. The base form for this Crispata
can be variable: rounded, spatulate or lanceolate. In the illustrations
below, one can see in the cultivar BIMINI TWIST (tetraploid) a fuller formed
flower with sepal quilling and in my own VANESSA ARDEN (diploid) one can
see the flat-open lancelote form with sepal quilling.
