Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Yokodiak’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; strong, dark green foliage; uniform flowering; early flowering, eight-week response time; large decorative quilled-type inflorescences that are about 11.2 cm in diameter when produced as a disbud; initially light yellow becoming white-colored ray florets which gives a bi-colored appearance to the inflorescence; ray florets held upright; 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 Yokodiak.
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 November, 1993, in Salinas, Calif., of a proprietary Dendranthema grandiflora seedling selection identified as code number YB-5775, as the female, or seed, parent, with a proprietary Dendranthema grandiflora seedling selection identified as code number YB-6145, 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 Alva, Fla., in November, 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 Alva, Fla., has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Yokodiak 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 ‘Yokodiak’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Yokodiak’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit, full and dense plants.
3. Strong, dark green foliage.
4. Uniform flowering.
5. Early flowering, eight-week response time.
6. Can be produced as a disbudded or natural spray-type Chrysanthemum.
7. Large decorative quilled-type inflorescences that are about 11.2 cm in diameter when produced as a disbud.
8. Initially light yellow becoming white-colored ray florets which gives a bi-colored appearance to the inflorescence; ray florets held upright.
9. 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 Phoenix, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,843. 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 Phoenix in ray floret color and in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more vigorous than plants of the cultivar Phoenix.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more outwardly spreading than plants of the cultivar Phoenix.
3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Phoenix.
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 top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Yokodiak’.
The photograph at the bottom of the first sheet comprises a close-up view a typical inflorescence and upper (left) and lower (right) surfaces of typical leaves of the cultivar Yokodiak.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Yokodiak’ (left) and ‘Phoenix’ (right).
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of plants of ‘Yokodiak’ (left) and ‘Phoenix’ (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 disbudded-types. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering plants.
