Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Apricot Cherie’, characterized by its uniform, rounded and outwardly spreading plant habit; freely branching growth habit; small dark green foliage; uniform flowering response; early and freely flowering habit; small daisy-type inflorescences; soft pink-colored ray and bright yellow-colored disc florets.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Apricot Cherie’.
The new Chrysanthemum was discovered as a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Chrysanthemum cultivar Yellow Cherie, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,713.
The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within a population of plants of the parent cultivar in 1996 in a greenhouse in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. The selection of this plant was based on its unique ray floret color.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by vegetative tip cuttings was first conducted in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada in 1996. Asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Apricot Cherie has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, and/or light level, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Apricot Cherie’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Apricot Cherie’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Uniform, rounded and outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Freely branching growth habit.
3. Small dark green foliage.
4. Uniform flowering response.
5. Typically grown as a spray-type.
6. Early flowering, eight-week response time.
7. Freely flowering habit.
8. Small daisy-type inflorescences that are about 3.7 cm in diameter.
9. Soft pink-colored ray and bright yellow-colored disc florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the parent cultivar, Yellow Cherie. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Salinas, Calif., plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from plants of the cultivar Yellow Cherie in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are much larger than plants of the cultivar Yellow Cherie.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have soft pink-colored ray florets whereas plants of the cultivar Yellow Cherie have yellow-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the Chrysanthemum cultivar Bronze Cherie, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,702. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Salinas, Calif., plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from plants of the cultivar Bronze Cherie in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are slightly larger than plants of the cultivar Bronze Cherie.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have soft pink-colored ray florets whereas plants of the cultivar Bronze Cherie have soft bronze-colored ray florets.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Chrysanthemum.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Apricot Cherie’ grown a spray-type.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Apricot Cherie’ grown as a spray-type.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of the new Chrysanthemum (left) and ‘Bronze Cherie’ (right).
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 and flowered during the winter in Salinas, Calif., in a fiberglass-covered greenhouse and under conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial potted Chrysanthemum production. During the production of these plants, the following conditions were measured: day temperatures, 21 to 27° C.; night temperatures, 17 to 19° C.; and light levels, 5,000 to 6,000 foot-candles. Four unrooted cuttings were directly stuck in 15-cm containers, exposed to long day/short night conditions, and pinched once about 14 days later. At that time, the photoinductive short day/long night treatments were started. Plants used for this description were grown as spray-types. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering plants.
