Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a special plant of the Lovesong, light blue-pink primary and purple secondary geranium (Pelargonium zonale hybrid) with a special color, medium and full bloom and green foliage.

Geranium is a flowering plant native to South Africa. Presumably he arrived in ancient Greece with Phoenician sailors actively involved in African trade. Greek name: Pelargos, meaning stork, stork. It was named after the characteristic shape of its fruit, which is reminiscent of a stork. Its botanical name comes from the Greek word Pelargonium s. The wild-growing Pelargonium inguisan is the ancestor of the wild Pelargonium horteum in South Africa.

In our country Pelargonium hortarum and Pelargonium peltatum are known and cultivated. On the one hand, they breed without breeding and selection. Therefore, the domestic distribution of new, improved varieties increases the variety of varieties and serves the needs better.

The first written record of geranium is found in János Lippay's 1769 book Posoni Garden.

The production of ornamental plants in Hungary has developed significantly in recent decades. As a result of this development, demand for ornamental potted plants increased. In particular, it grew towards geraniums. As a result, we have become our most sought after ornamental plant.

According to the literature, 12 red, 10 pink, 3 white, 3 purple, 3 purple petals of Pelargonium hortarum varieties and 3 red, 3 pink, 3 purple varieties of Pelargonium peltatum are known and cultivated in Hungary. Some of them are propagated without breeding and selection. Therefore, the introduction of new breeds of domestic varieties increases the variety of varieties and serves to better meet the needs.

The object of the present invention is to better and better meet the increased and demanding demand for geraniums by increasing the range and expanding the supply.

The photograph shows a top view and side view of a new light blue pink primary and purple secondary geranium hybrid of the present invention. The bright blue-pink buds, the green foliage and the secondary purple color in the center of the petals are well visible. (Figure 1)

Seedlings were bred in 1985 in Dresden by group pollination from 85 K-l 5-514 parents. The variety can be propagated vegetatively by cuttings.

The variety according to the invention differs from the well-known Duetelemann variety in that the white part at the base of the upper petals is absent, it is present in the well-known variety.

Morphological and physiological characteristics of the new geranium species of the present invention are as follows:

- width: narrow to medium

- leaf embossing: missing or very slight.

Inflorescence: - length of handle: short to medium

- inflorescence size: medium

- type of flowers: full

- white petals at the base of the upper petals: missing.

Beginning of flowering: - very early to early

Flowering life: - average

Resistance to drought: - good.
