The terms, sculpted or sculpting, relief, embossed and carved had been used by various hybridizers going back to the '80's and 90's when describing what is now the Sculpted relief form. Prior to the writing of the official definitions and the Sculpted form being recognized in 2010 as a Form of daylilies, the reliefs were being registered simply as single flower and the registration descriptions didn't always contain any sculpting terms. Catalog descriptions, back then there were catalogs not websites, did contain more info as hybridizers were free to write what they wanted when describing their intro's. Even now although we can write more in our registration descriptions we are asked to keep it simple leaving the fancy talk for websites and catalogs. Hybridizers could correct their registrations to Sculpted for free after Sculpted registration opened starting with 2011, that time has expired now. Some hybridizers took advantage of this and did so, others didn't. As for newer registrations, there are both some that should (Sculpted) and some that shouldn't (not Sculpted). Some are registered with the wrong pleated, relief or cristate subform too. So the official registration record for Sculpted forms may never be "complete" or completely correct but it is a tool to we can use to register and find them now.
