MrKGDickie said:@Char Thank you! Would I be correct in referring to the look of Palantir as "reflexed spatulate?" Basically I guess I'm looking for quilling on all tepals. Luckily, I'm flexible enough to avoid frustration; flower appearances can indeed be inconsistent!


I don't think I would call it reflexed, the petals don't bend across the width. It's a quilled crispate, with quilling (lengthwise curling) on petals and sepals and yes, I believe what you are looking for is a quilled criapate UF.
The quilling of the petals on Palantir, with no reflexing, gives an illusion of the spatulate subform, being the petals appear narrow in the throat and wider at the petal ends.That was the reason I suggested also looking at the spatulate forms that might have quilled sepals. Finding a quilled on all segments, non reflexing UF crispate that looks like Palantir in that image could be difficult!

You might also check Ned Roberts ( Roberts-N) cultivars. Talon and Lavender Handlebars came to mind this afternoon.
