Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Yotaffy’, characterized by its uniformly mounded plant habit; freely branching growth habit; uniform flowering; decorative-type inflorescences that are about 3.3 cm in diameter; attractive golden yellow ray florets; numerous inflorescences per plant; and excellent garden performance.
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 Yotaffy.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Salinas, Calif. and Alva, Fla. The objective of the breeding program is to create new garden-type Chrysanthemum cultivars having inflorescences with desirable inflorescence forms, attractive floret colors and good garden performance.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the Inventor in Salinas, Calif., in December, 1995, of the Dendranthema grandiflora cultivar Ginger, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,403, as the female, or seed, parent with an unidentified proprietary seedling selection as the male, or pollen, parent.
The cultivar Yotaffy 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, 1996. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form, attractive ray floret color and excellent garden performance.
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 Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Yotaffy has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variation 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 ‘Yotaffy’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Yotaffy’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Uniformly mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching, dense, full plants.
3. Uniform flowering.
4. Decorative-type inflorescences that are about 3.3 cm in diameter.
5. Attractive golden yellow ray florets.
6. Numerous inflorescences per plant.
7. Excellent garden performance with the blooms lasting at least three weeks.
Compared to plants of the parent cultivar, Ginger, plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower more uniformly, are more flexible and less susceptible to breakage, and flower about 17 to 18 days later under natural season conditions.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are similar to the cultivar Viking, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,326. However in side-by-side comparisons under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from plants of the cultivar Viking in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more freely branching and denser than plants of the cultivar Viking.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have smaller leaves but more leaves than plants of the cultivar Viking.
3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have smaller inflorescences but are more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Viking.
4. Ray floret of plants of the new Chrysanthemum is lighter than ray floret color of the cultivar Viking.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum. These photographs show the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Chrysanthemum.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Yotaffy’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of the cultivar ‘Yotaffy’.
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 Pendleton, S.C., under conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial garden Chrysanthemum production. One rooted cutting was planted in a 15-cm container on Jul. 26, 1999 and plants were grown under natural season conditions. Plants were not pinched, that is, the terminal apex was not removed to enhance branching. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants.
