Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named `Gulf Wind`, characterized by its very dark green leaves; upright and outwardly spreading, uniform and symmetrical plant habit; freely flowering, large and numerous light golden yellow-colored flowers with dark red throats; long peduncles; good resistance to flower bud abscission; and excellent postproduction longevity.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus, botanically known as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Gulf Wind`.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Alva, Fla. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Hibiscus cultivars having uniform plant habit, early flowering, numerous flowers per lateral branch, desirable flower color, resistance to flower bud abscission, and good postproduction longevity.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor in Alva, Fla. of the nonpatented commercial cultivar `Euterpe` as the female, or seed, parent with the commercial cultivar `Waikiki ` (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,834) as the male, or pollen, parent. Compared to plants of the light orange-colored cultivar `Euterpe`, plants of the new Hibiscus have larger flowers and are more resistance to flower bud abscission. In addition, plants of the cultivar `Euterpe ` have lobed leaves whereas plants of the new Hibiscus do not have lobed leaves. Compared to plants of the pink-colored cultivar `Waikiki`, plants of the new Hibiscus have larger flowers.
The cultivar `Gulf Wind` was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla., on Oct. 4, 1993. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable flower color, resistance to flower bud abscission, good postproduction longevity, and uniform plant habit and flowering.
The new Hibiscus is similar to plants of the nonpatented cultivar `Sundance`. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the cultivar Sundance in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Hibiscus are more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Sundance.
2. Plants of the new Hibiscus have more flowers than plants of the cultivar Sundance.
3. Plants of the new Hibiscus have lighter golden yellow-colored flowers than plants of the cultivar Sundance.
4. Plants of the new Hibiscus flower about 10 days earlier than plants of the cultivar Sundance.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla., has shown that the unique features of this new Hibiscus are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar `Gulf Wind` has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, nutrition and water status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Gulf Wind`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Gulf Wind` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Very dark green leaves.
2. Uptight and outwardly spreading, uniform and symmetrical plant habit.
3. Freely flowering, large and numerous light golden yellow-colored flowers with dark red throats.
4. Long peduncles.
5. Good resistance to flower bud abscission.
6. Excellent postproduction longevity.
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 side perspective view of typical plant of `Gulf Wind`.
The second photograph comprises a close-up view of a typical flower of `Gulf Wind`.
Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
The aforementioned and following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons describe plants grown in Alva, Fla., in 15-cm containers with day temperatures ranging from 16 to 35°C and night temperatures ranging from 10 to 24°C. Plants were grown under a polypropylene covering with light levels ranging from 6,000 to 9,000 footcandles.
