Abstract

A new and distinct hybrid of Pulmonaria plant characterized by silver-spotted foliage and large red-purple flowers to nearly 2 cm wide.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct hybrid of Pulmonaria, of the family Boraginaceae, which originated as an open-pollinated cross between Pulmonaria ‘Berries and Cream’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,597 (seed parent) and an unknown pollen parent. This is known to be an outcross because Pulmonaria does not normally self-pollinate. Due to the fact that the instant plant and parent plants are of hybrid origin, no species designations are given.
This new Pulmonaria is a result of an open-pollinated cross of the aforementioned plants at Terra Nova Nurseries, Inc., in Canby, Oreg. The seed parent plant was retained to observe habit and to compare with the instant plant. The new variety has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant.
This plant is characterized by the following:
1. Large flower size nearly 2 cm from petal tip to petal tip.
2. Silver spotted foliage.
Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The drawing shows Pulmonaria ‘May Bouquet’ in Canby, Oreg.

DESCRIPTION OF PARENT PLANTS
The instant plant resulted from an open-pollinated cross between Pulmonaria ‘Berries and Cream’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,597 and an unknown pollen parent. Pulmonaria ‘Berries and Cream’, as described in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,597, has markedly ruffled leaves, silver with a thin green margin, and distinctive raspberry-pink flowers in spring. The instant plant differs in having larger flowers and spotted leaf markings.
Compared to Pulmonaria ‘Dark Vader’ (Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/628,783), the instant plant has a lower, wider habit, more silvering on the leaves, and larger flowers.
Compared to Pulmonaria ‘High Contrast’ (Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/628,782), the instant plant has larger flowers and less silvering on its leaves.
