Bloom on crested plants

There is still a fasciated form of Fritillaria imperialis in cultivation, Fritillaria imperialis Slagzwaard.
And there is the fasciated Leucojum vernum that is touted as a double.
This seems to have various combinations of floral parts. I don't grow it....
Narcissus 'Bowles Early Sulphur' is semi fasciated.

" Crests are common on lilies (lily people call them fasciated stems). In lilies, the crested stems carry many more blooms than normal stems.
I've got several crested stems in my lily patch right now - I'll post some photos later and you'll see what I mean.
In lilies, since the cresting occurs at the tip of the annual stem, it does not carry over from year to year.
I've seen photos of crested Fritillaria imperialis, and in the Gottofer Codes there is an image of what appears to be a crested tulip and a
crested Lilium candidum.. "
