Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘Mini Miami’ characterized by its dense, uniform, outwardly arching and dwarf plant habit; rapid plant growth; bright silvery leaves blushed with bright to hot pink with dark purple brown centers; and serrate leaf margin.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia, botanically known as Begonia rex hybrid, commercially known as Rex Begonia, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Mini Miami’.
The new Begonia was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Vista, Calif., as a naturally-occurring mutation of the Begonia rex hybrid cultivar Mini Merry Christmas, not patented. The new Rex Begonia was observed as a single plant in a group of plants of the parent cultivar. The selection of this plant was based on its unique leaf coloration and pattern.
Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia by leaf cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Vista, Calif., has shown that the unique features of this new Begonia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The new Begonia has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, light intensity, nutritional and water status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Mini Miami’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Mini Miami’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Dense, uniform, outwardly arching and dwarf plant habit.
2. Rapid plant growth.
3. Does not require winter dormancy.
4. Bright silvery leaves blushed with bright to hot pink with dark purple brown centers; under high light conditions and good fertility, leaf color becomes almost red.
5. Serrate leaf margin.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Begonia. This photograph shows the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph 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 comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Mini Miami’.
The aforementioned and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Lompoc, Calif., during the spring under conditions which approximate commercial production practices. After the cuttings were rooted, plants were planted in 10-cm containers and grown with day temperatures ranging from 27 to 32° C., night temperatures ranging from 18 to 20° C., and light levels about 1,800 foot-candles. Plants used for the description were about 6 to 8 weeks old. 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.
