Abstract

A new and distinct hybrid of Pulmonaria plant characterized by a unique combination of emerald green spots and pink flowers turning to blue.

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 ‘Victorian Brooch’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,234 (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 the result of crosses between several different Pulmonaria species, no species designations are given.
This hybrid was selected from a large selection of seedlings. The seed parent 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. Foliage with emerald green spots instead of silver.
2. Pink flowers turning to blue.
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.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The drawing shows Pulmonaria ‘Emerald Isles’ in Canby, Oreg.
DETAILED PLANT DESCRIPTION
The following is a detailed description of the new Pulmonaria hybrid based on observations of 1.5-year old specimens grown in a gallon size pot in Canby, Oreg.

DESCRIPTION OF PARENT PLANTS
The instant plant resulted from a cross between Pulmonaria ‘Victorian Brooch’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,234 (seed parent) and an unknown pollen parent. Pulmonaria ‘Victorian Brooch’, as described in U.S. Plant Pat No. 11,234, has very large flowers on a compact scape and distinctive spotted, ovate foliage. The instant plant differs from Pulmonaria ‘Victorian Brooch’ in having green spotting instead of silver and pink flowers that turn to blue.
Compared to Pulmonaria ‘High Contrast’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/628,782), the instant plant has a smaller habit and lighter green leaves.
Compared to Pulmonaria ‘Dark Vader’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/628,783), the instant plant has a smaller habit, lighter green and more silvered leaves, and the style is a thrum (included in the tube) rather than a pin type (exerted).
