Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Antigonon plant named ‘Colvey’, characterized by its large dark reddish pink-colored flowers; freely flowering habit with flowering racemes developing at every node; relatively early flowering; and tolerance to high temperatures.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Antigonon plant, botanically known as Antigonon leptopus, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Colvey’.
The new Antigonon was discovered by the Inventor in 1997 in a controlled environment in Fredericksburg, Tex., as a seedling of random cross pollinations of unidentified selections of Antigonon leptopus, not patented. The new Antigonon was selected by the Inventor on the basis of its larger and darker pink-colored flowers compared to the unidentified selections of Antigonon leptopus.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in San Antonio, Tex. has shown that the unique features of this new Antigonon are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Colvey have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, irrigation frequency and rate, and/or fertilizer type and rate without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characeristics of ‘Colvey’. These charqacteristics in combination distinguish ‘Colvey’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Large dark reddish pink-colored flowers.
2. Freely flowering with flowering racemes developing at every node.
3. Relatively early flowering.
4. Tolerant to high temperatures.
The new Antigonon can be compared to plants of the Antigonon leptopus cultivar Sunset Rose, not patented. In side-by-side comparisions conducted by the Inventor in San Antonio, Tex., plants of the new Antigonon have larger flowers and darker pink-colored flowers than plants of the cultivar Sunset Rose. In addition, plants of the new Antigonon flower about one to two weeks earlier than plants of the cultivar Sunset Rose.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accopanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, 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 accurately describe the colors of the new Antigonon.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a top perspective view of a lateral branch of a typical plants of ‘Colvey’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Colvey’.
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. Plants grown in one-gallon containers for about four to five months after rooting were used for the photographs and the following description. Plants were grown under outdoor nursery conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions in San Antonio, Tex., during the spring and summer.
