Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of double flowered Impatiens walleriana plant named `Neon Salmon`, characterized by its large iridescent salmon flowers which are held above or beyond the foliage; consistently double and symmetrical flower form; numerous flowers per plant; freely and continuously flowering; freely branching, dense growth habit; upright mounded plant habit, globular to triangular in shape; having shiny dark green foliage with reddish blotches on the underside.
Description
The invention described in this application is a new and distinct cultivar of double flowered impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens walleriana, which shall be hereinafter referred to by its cultivar name of `Neon Salmon`.
The new cultivar is a seedling of unknown parentage discovered growing in our Coquille, Oreg., breeding area. The new cultivar was found among a grorup of seedlings from random crosses made by us in our breeding program. The new cultivar was discovered on Jul. 15, 1995. Asexual reproduction of the cultivar by lateral stem cuttings at Coquille, Oreg. has shown the uniqueness of this new cultivar to be stable, and that it reproduces true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The traits which have been observed in successive generations which are unique to `Neon Salmon`, either in combination, or separately are:
1. Large, iridescent salmon colored flowers.
2. Flowers positioned above or beyond the foliage.
3. Consistently double, well shaped flowers.
4. Dark green foliage with reddish blotches on the underside of the leaves, and a shiny luster on the upper surface.
5. Numerous flowers per plant.
6. Reddish markings on the stems.
7. Strong stems and peduncles.
`Neon Salmon` can be compared to the Impatiens cultivar `Salmon Sunrise` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,691), marketed as `Fiesta Salmon Sunrise`. In side by side comparisons, under commercial conditions, `Neon Salmon` differed from `Salmon Sunrise` as follows:
1. `Neon Salmon` tolerated higher light levels than `Salmon Sunrise`.
2. `Neon Salmon` is more vigorous than `Salmon Sunrise`.
3. `Neon Salmon` does not spread or fall down in rains like `Salmon Sunrise` due to stronger stems.
4. Flowers of `Neon Salmon` are deeper and more iridescent in color than that of `Salmon Sunrise`.
5. The underside of the leaves of `Neon Salmon` have reddish blotches compared to solid coloring on the underside of the leaves of `Salmon Sunrise`.
6. `Neon Salmon` has wider foliage than `Salmon Sunrise`.
7. The foliage of `Neon Salmon` is darker than the foliage of `Salmon Sunrise`.
8. The upper surface of the foliage of `Neon Salmon` has a satiny, or pearly luster, compared to the relatively flat lusterless upper surface of `Salmon Sunrise`.
A detailed comparison of `Neon Salmon` and `Salmon Sunrise` is set forth in Chart A at the end of the specification.
`Neon Salmon` has not been observed in all possible environmental conditions. Variations in fertility, climate, light quality and/or level, soil type, and temperature may cause phenotype variations, without genotype variations.
The accompanying drawing sheets utilize color photographs to illustrate the uniqueness of the new cultivar. The coloration of the photographs may not be entirely accurate due to light reflectance, or the amount of either red or blue light captured by the film. In the event there are differences between the written description and the color in the photographs, the written description shall control.
The photograph on the first sheet depicts a side view of `Neon Salmon`.
The photograph on the second sheet depicts a side view comparison between `Neon Salmon`, left side, and `Salmon Sunrise`, right side.
The photograph on the third sheet depicts a comparison between the flowers, stems, and foliage of `Neon Salmon` and `Salmon Sunrise`.
The following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons describe plants grown in Coquille, Oreg., under the following cultural conditions:
1. Soilless medium.
2. High nitrate fertility plus trace elements.
3. Light levels of 3,000 to 7.500 foot candles.
4. Greenhouse covering of double layer polyethylene.
5. Day temperature ranging from 70° F. to 85° F.
6. Night temperatures ranging from 55° F. to 60° F.
7. Four inch Azalea pots were used.
8. Comparisons were made in late October.
