Abstract

A Chrysanthemum plant named ‘CURRANT ELGON’ characterized by its medium sized blooms with dark salmon ray-florets and yellow-green disc florets.

Description

RELATED CULTIVARS
‘CURRANT ELGON’ is related to ‘DARK PINK ELGON’ (U.S. plant patent application Ser. No. 09/562,281) and ‘ELGON’ (U.S. plant patent application Ser. No. 09/276,697). ‘CURRANT ELGON’ and ‘DARK PINK ELGON’ are color mutants of ‘ELGON’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
‘CURRANT ELGON’ is a product of a breeding and selection program which had the objective of finding color mutants of ‘ELGON’. The new plant of the present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of chrysanthemum plant that is a natural occuring sport of a parent chrysanthemum named ‘ELGON’. A comparison with Parent chrysanthemum ‘ELGON’ is also made in this application. The new cultivar was discovered as a whole plant mutation in April 1998 by Rob Noodelijk in a controlled environment (greenhouse) in Rijsenhout Holland. The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘CURRANT ELGON’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in August 1998 in Rijsenhout Holland.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a new and distinct variety of chrysanthemum bearing medium sized blooms with dark salmon 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 various stages of foliage and petiole 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 greenhouse temperatures during this crop were at day-time between 18° C. and 25° C. and at night 20° C. The photo-periodic response time in this crop was 50 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. The plants were observed (directly) during the flowering of this crop. No tests were done on disease or insect resistance or susceptibility. No tests were done on cold of drought tolerance. This new variety produces medium sized blooms with dark salmon ray-florets and yellow-green disc-florets blooming on the plant for 4 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 ‘CURRANT ELGON’ may be planted without assimilation lightning (high pressure sodium lamps) between week 50 and 40 of the next year under greenhouse conditions in Holland. With assimilation lightning (minimum level 2500 lux) it may be planted year round under greenhouse conditions in Holland.
From the cultivars known to inventor the most similar existing cultivar in comparison to ‘CURRANT ELGON’ is ‘ELGON’ and ‘DARK PINK ELGON’. When ‘ELGON’ and ‘DARK PINK ELGON’ are being compared the following differences and similarities are noticed: The difference of ‘ELGON’, ‘CURRANT ELGON’ and ‘DARK PINK EGLON’ is the ray-floret color for which characteristics ‘CURRANT ELGON’ and ‘DARK PINK ELGON’ are selected out of ‘ELGON’. ‘CURRANT ELGON’ is salmon, ‘DARK PINK ELGON’ is dark pink, ‘ELGON’ is pale pink. All other characteristics of ‘CURRANT ELGON’, ‘ELGON’ and ‘DARK PINK ELGON’ are similar.
The following is a description of 58 day old the plant and characteristics that distinguish ‘CURRANT ELGON’ 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. The color chart used in this description is: The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, edition 1995.
