Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named `Oriole` characterized by its vigorous and mounded growth habit; daisy-type inflorescences; orange ray florets and bright yellow disc florets; numerous inflorescences per plant; and good garden performance.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Dendranthema grandiflora and referred to by the cultivar name Oriole.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Chrysanthemum cultivars having desirable inflorescence colors and good garden performance.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor of the Chrysanthemum proprietary selection P173/91 as the female, or seed, parent with the cultivar `Empire Ventura` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,384) as the male, or pollen, parent.
The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum 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 `Oriole`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Oriole` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Vigorous and mounded growth habit.
2. Daisy-type inflorescences.
3. Orange ray florets and bright yellow disc florets.
4. Numerous inflorescences per plant.
5. Good garden performance.
The cultivar Oriole has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperatures, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
In side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum have a more mounded habit, larger inflorescences and flower later than plants of the female parent, the proprietary Chrysanthemum selection P173/91 and the male parent, the Chrysanthemum cultivar `Empire Ventura`. In addition, ray floret color of plants of the new Chrysanthemum is orange whereas ray floret color of plants of the cultivar `Empire Ventura` are more yellow.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to the cultivar `Grace` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,642). However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Oxnard, Calif., under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar `Grace` in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are taller than plants of the cultivar `Grace`.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have a more uniform plant habit than plants of the cultivar `Grace`.
3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower later than plants of the cultivar `Grace`.
4. Inflorescences of the new Chrysanthemum have a tidy, uniform edge whereas inflorescences of the cultivar `Grace` have a ragged, nonuniform edge.
5. Ray florets of the cultivar `Grace` have a yellow-gold band at their base whereas ray florets of the new Chrysanthemum are solid orange and lack this band.
6. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have longer peduncles than plants of the cultivar `Grace`.
7. Inflorescences of plants of the cultivar Grace produce considerably more pollen than inflorescences of the new Chrysanthemum.
A detailed comparison of plants of the new Chrysanthemum and the cultivar Grace appears in Chart A at the end of the specification.
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 first photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering 16.5-cm container of `Oriole` with one cutting in the container.
The second photograph comprises a close-up view of four leaves at different stages of development and a fully opened inflorescence. Foliage and floret colors in the photographs may appear different from 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 Oxnard, Calif., under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with average night temperatures of 18° C., average day temperatures of 30° C., and light levels of 2,000 (cloudy conditions) to 9,000 (sunny conditions) footcandles.
After sticking unrooted cuttings of the new cultivar, plants received 4 weeks of long day/short nights followed by short day/long nights until flowering. Measurements and numerical values represent ranges or averages for six typical flowering plants.
