Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Yograceland’, characterized by its upright, somewhat spreading, and uniformly mounded plant habit; strong, dark green foliage; uniform flowering response; early flowering, eight-week response time; very large single anemone-type inflorescences that are about 13.7 cm in diameter; very light pink ray florets and yellow-tipped disc florets; and good postproduction longevity with inflorescences maintaining good substance and color for about three weeks in an interior environment.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
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 Yograceland.
The new Chrysanthemum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventors in Salinas, Calif. and Fort Myers, Fla. The objective of the breeding program is to create new potted Chrysanthemum cultivars with desirable inflorescence form and floret colors and good postproduction longevity.
The new Chrysanthemum originated from a cross made by the Inventors in February, 1995, in Salinas, Calif., of a proprietary Chrysanthemum seedling selection identified as YB-5899 as the male, or pollen, parent with the Chrysanthemum cultivar Blush, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,985 as the female, or seed, parent. The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventors in April, 1996, as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross grown in a controlled environment in Fort Myers, Fla. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form and floret colors and good postproduction longevity.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by vegetative tip cuttings was first conducted in Fort Myers, Fla. in June, 1996. Asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Yograceland 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 ‘Yograceland’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Yograceland’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Upright, somewhat spreading, and uniformly mounded plant habit.
2. Strong, dark green foliage.
3. Uniform flowering response.
4. Early flowering, eight-week response time.
5. Very large single anemone-type inflorescences that are about 13.7 cm in diameter.
6. Very light pink ray florets and yellow-tipped disc florets.
7. Good postproduction longevity with inflorescences maintaining good substance and color for about three weeks in an interior environment.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from plants of the cultivar, Pink Blush, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,444, in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have single anemone-type inflorescences whereas plants of the cultivar Pink Blush have single daisy-type inflorescences.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are taller than plants of the cultivar Pink Blush.
3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower about two or three days earlier than plants of the cultivar Pink Blush.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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. Colors in the photographs may differ 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 ‘Yograceland’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of the cultivar Yograceland.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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 and flowered during the Spring 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 disbud-types. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering plants.
