Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘Betulia Pink’, characterized by its compact and freely branching plant habit; double dark pink flowers; short peduncles and short pedicels; and excellent postproduction longevity.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant, botanically known as Begonia×hiemalis, commercially known as Elatior Begonia, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Betulia Pink’.
The new Begonia was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Ermelo, The Netherlands, in April, 1997, as a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Begonia×hiemalis ‘Betulia’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,475. The new Begonia was observed as a single plant in a group of flowering plants of the parent cultivar. The selection of this plant was based on its unique flower color and plant size.
Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia by leaf and terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Ermelo, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Begonia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar ‘Betulia Pink’ 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 ‘Betulia Pink’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Betulia Pink’ as a new and distinct Begonia:
1. Compact and freely branching plant habit.
2. Double dark pink-colored flowers.
3. Short peduncles and short pedicels.
4. Excellent postproduction longevity.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Ermelo, The Netherlands, plants of the new Begonia differ from plants of the parent cultivar Betulia primarily in flower color as plants of ‘Betulia’ have red-colored flowers:
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Begonia, showing 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 Begonia.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Betulia Pink’.
The photographs on the second sheet, from top to bottom, are close-ups of the upper surfaces of typical developing flowers, the lower surfaces of typical developing flowers, the upper surfaces of typical developing leaves, and the lower surfaces of typical developing leaves.
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 Ermelo, The Netherlands, under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse. Average day and night temperatures were 20° C. during the first three to four weeks then lowered to an average day and night temperature of 19° C. until flowering. Four weeks after planting in 12-cm containers, one week of long nyctoperiods were given followed by short nyctoperiods of eight hours. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants.
