Abstract

A Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Everest Pink’ characterized by its medium sized blooms with pale pink ray-florets and yellow-green disc florets.

Description

RELATED CULTIVARS
‘Everest Pink’ is related to ‘Everest Salmon’ (see copending Ser. No. 09/276,693) and ‘Everest White’ (see copending Ser. No. 09/276,633). ‘Everest Salmon’ and ‘Everest White’ are mutants from ‘Everest Pink’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
‘Everest Pink’ is a product of a breeding-program which had the objective of creating new chrysanthemum cultivars with a daisy type flower, a 6.5-7 week response and a short till medium plant height. The new plant of the present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant. ‘Everest Pink’ is a seedling from a cross in a breeding program maintained under the control of inventor. The female parent is # 90.1402 —unpatented—, an unnamed seedling not available to inventor for description. The male parent is unknown, being a mixed pollation of a group of male parents. The new and distinct cultivar was discovered and selected as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by Rob Noodelijk in a controlled environment (greenhouse) in Rijsenhout Holland in May 1995. The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘Everest Pink’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in July 1995 in a controlled environment in Rijsenhout Holland.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a new and distinct variety of chrysanthemum bearing medium sized blooms with pale pink ray-florets and yellow-green disc florets.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention of a new and distinct variety of chrysanthemum is shown in the accompanying drawings, the color being as nearly true as possible with color photographs of this type.
FIG. 1 shows a plant of the cultivar in full bloom.
FIG. 2 shows the various stages of bloom of the new cultivar.
FIG. 3 shows the foliage of the new cultivar.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This new variety of chrysanthemum is of the botanical classification Dendranthema grandiflora. The observations and measurements were gathered from plants grown in a greenhouse in Rijsenhout Holland in a photo-periodic controlled crop under conditions generally used in commercial practice. The photo-periodic response time in this crop was 48 days after an average of eight long days. After this long day period to flowering growth retardants were applied 6 times in an average dose of 1.5 gram/liter water. This new variety produces medium sized blooms with pale pink ray-florets and yellow-green disc-florets blooming on the plant for 5 weeks. This new variety of chrysanthemum has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics throughout successive propagations however the phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as light intensity and temperature. To show the phenotype as described ‘Everest Pink’ can be planted without assimilation lightning (high pressure sodium lamps) between week 50 and week 40 of the next year under greenhouse conditions in Holland. With assimilation lightning (minimum level 2500 lux) it can be planted year round under greenhouse conditions in Holland.
From the cultivars known to inventor the most similar existing cultivars in comparison to ‘Everest Pink’ are ‘Everest Salmon’ and ‘Everest White’. When ‘Everest Salmon’ and ‘Everest White’ and ‘Everest Pink’ are being compared the following differences are noticed: The difference of ‘Everest Salmon’ and ‘Everest White’ and ‘Everest Pink’ is the color of the ray-florets for which characteristic ‘Everest Salmon’ and ‘Everest White’ has been selected out of ‘Everest Pink’. The color of the ray-florets of ‘Everest Pink’ is pale pink, the color of the ray-florets of ‘Everest Salmon’ is salmon and the color of the ray-florets of ‘Everest White’ is white. All other characteristics of ‘Everest Pink’, ‘Everest Salmon’ and ‘Everest White’ are the same.
The following is a description of the plant and characteristics that distinguish ‘Everest Pink’ as a new and distinct variety.
The color designations are taken from the plant itself. Accordingly, any discrepancies between the color designations and the colors depicted in the photographs are due to photographic tolerances.
