Daylily Dictionary: Cascade

CASCADE, CURLING:

One of three defining forms of an Unusual Form daylily. A "cascade" refers to a small, steep waterfall or something resembling it. The cascade form may include cascading or curling of segments. Also see Cascading, Curling, Segment, Unusual form.

The tepals of a Cascade should really cascade like a waterfall.

The straplike segments of this flower are examples of what a cascade should look like.
