Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Azalea plant named `Aquarell`, characterized by its dark green leaves and numerous and large white-colored flowers with dark hot pink-speckled edges.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Azalea, botanically known as Rhododendron simsii, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Aquarell.
The new cultivar was discovered and selected in 1990 by the inventor as a naturally-occurring petal color mutation of the Rhododendron simsii cultivar Helmut Vogel (not patented) at his nursery in Issum, Germany.
Plants of the new Azalea are similar to plants of the parent cultivar Helmut Vogel in all plant characteristics with the exception of petal color. Plants of the cultivar Helmut Vogel have red-colored petals whereas plants of the new Azalea have white-colored petals with dark hot pink-speckled edges.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Issum, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Azalea plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Aquarell`. These characteristics in combination distinguish the new Azalea plant as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Dark green leaves.
2. Numerous and large white-colored flowers with dark hot pink-speckled edges giving a bi-colored appearance.
The new Azalea plant has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light level, nutrition and water status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrates 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 side perspective view of typical plant of `Aquarell`,
The second photograph comprises a close-up view of a typical flowers of `Aquarell`.
Flower and foliage colors in the photograph may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
The following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons describe plants grown in Salinas, Calif., in 12-cm containers under glass with day temperatures ranging from 24° to 27° C., night temperatures ranging from 13° to 16° C., and light levels averaging 4,500 footcandles.
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.
