Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Alstroemeria plant producing flowers of good quality and attractive white coloration.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Alstroemeria which is a cross of two unnamed, undistributed seedlings. The varietal denomination of the new variety is `Virginia`.
The first act of asexual reproduction of `Virginia` was in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands, by micropropagation (tissue culture). Asexual reproduction by tissue culture through successive generations in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for `Virginia` are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety of Alstroemeria, `Virginia`, produces strong, thick stems and about 5 to 8 peduncles per stem.
DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
The new variety of Alstroemeria hybrid is illustrated in the accompanying illustration, which shows typical flower and stem characteristics, with colors being as nearly true as is possible for illustrations of this type.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
The following is a detailed description of the new cultivar of Alstroemeria hybrid as observed in a greenhouse in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands in the month of April. Color designations indicated are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart by color plate designations.
`Virginia` has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. Phenotypic expression may vary with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, day length and growing and cultural conditions.
