Abstract
A distinctive cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Yolafayette’, characterized by its upright, broadly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; excellent plant strength; small dark green leaves; uniform and early flowering; numerous daisy-type inflorescences that are about 4.2 cm in diameter; bright yellow-colored ray florets and darker yellow disc florets; and excellent postproduction longevity with inflorescences and leaves maintaining good substance and color for about three or four weeks in an interior environment.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Dendranthema grandiflora and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Yolafayette.
The new Chrysanthemum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Salinas, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new pot-type Chrysanthemum cultivars having desirable inflorescence forms and floret colors and good post-production longevity.
The new Chrysanthemum originated from a cross made by the Inventor in July, 1993, in Salinas, Calif., of the Dendranthema grandiflora cultivar Forge, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,470, as the female, or seed, parent, with a proprietary Chrysanthemum seedling selection identified as code number YB-6709, 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 Salinas, Calif., in February, 1994. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form and floret colors and good post-production longevity.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by terminal cuttings harvested in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif., has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Yolafayette has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Yolafayette’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Yolafayette’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Upright, broadly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit, very full and dense plants.
3. Excellent plant strength.
4. Small dark green leaves.
5. Uniform and early flowering.
6. Floriferous with numerous daisy-type inflorescences that are about 4.2 cm in diameter.
7. Bright yellow-colored ray florets and darker yellow disc florets.
8. Excellent postproduction longevity with inflorescences and leaves maintaining good substance and color for about three or four weeks in an interior environment.
The new Chrysanthemum can be compared to the Chrysanthemum cultivar Yellow Davis, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9.559. However in side-by-side comparisons in Salinas, Calif., and Leamington, Ontario, Canada, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from plants of the cultivar Yellow Davis in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more outwardly spreading, stronger and more freely branching than plants of the variety Yellow Davis.
2. Leaves of the new Chrysanthemum are smaller, darker green, and less susceptible to foliar flecking than leaves of the variety Yellow Davis.
3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower about one week earlier than plants of the variety Yellow Davis.
4. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have smaller inflorescences than plants of the variety Yellow Davis.
5. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have darker yellow ray florets than plants of the variety Yellow Davis.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The photograph at the top of the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Yolafayette’.
The photograph at the bottom of the first sheet comprises a close-up view of upper (left) and lower (right) surfaces of typical inflorescences and upper (left) and lower (right) surfaces of typical leaves of the cultivar Yolafayette.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Yolafayette’ (left) and ‘Yellow Davis’ (right).
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of upper surfaces of typical inflorescences and leaves of plants of ‘Yolafayette’ (left) and ‘Yellow Davis’ (right). Floret and foliage 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 Salinas, Calif., and Leamington, Ontario, Canada, under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial potted Chrysanthemum production. Four unrooted cuttings were directly stuck in a 15-cm container and pinched once. Plants used for this description were grown as spray-types. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering plants.
