I finally broke down and ordered a cristate DL a couple weeks ago, just to have something in the garden that demonstrates this quality. The extra tissue initially seemed awkward and weird to me as I like graceful, open forms. However, I recently saw online some stunning new material by Jamie Gossard that shows what will be coming down the pike. All it takes is the right colors, more of that special something... viola! Must-have breakthroughs are on the way!
I have Texas Feathered Fancy coming in the spring.
