Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant named Bapur, characterized by its compact growth habit; small leaves and inflorescences that are proportional to the overall plant size; ease of propagation; and red purple ray florets with bright yellow disc florets.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant, botanically known as Dahlia hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Bapur.
The new Dahlia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Quedlinburg, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Dahlia cultivars having a compact growth habit suitable for 7 to 9-cm container production, small inflorescences, desirable inflorescence colors, and inflorescences and foliage with good substance.
The new Dahlia originated from a cross made by the inventor of the inventor's proprietary Dahlia seedling selections. The cultivar Bapur was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of this cross in a controlled environment in Quedlinburg, Germany.
Asexual reproduction of the new Dahlia by terminal cuttings taken at Quedlinburg, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Dahlia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of Bapur. These characteristics in combination distinguish Bapur as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact growth habit, suitable for 7 to 9-cm containers. Plants do not require growth retardants.
2. Small leaves and inflorescences that are proportional to the overall plant size.
3. Excellent rooting and easy to propagate.
4. Red purple ray florets with bright yellow disc florets.
The new Dahlia has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
Compared to the female parent, plants of the new Dahlia have smaller inflorescences. Plants of the new Dahlia differ from the male parent in ray floret color.
Plants of the new Dahlia are similar to the cultivar Betty (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,762) in ray floret color. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Quedlinburg, Germany, under commercial practice, plants of the new Dahlia differed from plants of the cultivar Betty in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Dahlia are more compact and shorter than plants of the cultivar Betty.
2. Leaves of plants of the new Dahlia are smaller than leaves of plants of the cultivar Betty.
3. Inflorescences of plants of the new Dahlia are smaller than inflorescences of plants of the cultivar Betty.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The upper photograph on the first sheet of photographs comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of Bapur.
The lower photograph comprises a top perspective view of immature (top) and mature (bottom) leaves. The upper (left) and under (right) sides of the leaves are shown.
The upper photograph on the second sheet of photographs comprises a top perspective view of a developing inflorescence showing the upper (left) and under (right) sides of the inflorescence.
The lower photograph comprises a top perspective view of developing (left) and fully developed (right) inflorescences. The floret and foliage colors in these photographs appear different than the actual colors due to light reflectance.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Quedlinburg, Germany, during the winter season under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with average night temperatures of 15C, average day temperatures of 20C, and light levels of 2,500 lux.
