Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘Bela’, characterized by its upright and mounded plant habit; double flowers that are dark pinkish red in color and held above the foliage; and excellent postproduction longevity.
Description
Begonia×hybrida cultivar Bela.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant, botanically known as Begonia×hiemalis, commercially known as Elatior Begonia, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Bela’.
The new Begonia was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Ermelo, The Netherlands, in October, 1999, as a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Begonia×hiemalis ‘Berseba’, not patented. The new Begonia was observed as a single plant in a group of flowering plants of the parent cultivar. The selection of this plant was based on its flower coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia by cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Ermelo, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Begonia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar ‘Bela’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Bela’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bela’ as a new and distinct Begonia:
1. Upright and mounded plant habit.
2. Double flowers that are dark pinkish red in color and held above the foliage.
3. Excellent postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the parent, the cultivar Berseba, primarily in flower color as plants of the cultivar Berseba have dark red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new cultivar differ primarily from plants of the cultivar Bazan, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,343, in flower color as plants of the cultivar Bazan have pink-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Begonia, showing 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 accurately describe the colors of the new Begonia. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bela’.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Ermelo, The Netherlands, under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse. Average day and night temperatures were about 20° C. during the first three to four weeks then lowered to an average day and night temperature of 19° C. until flowering. Four weeks after planting rooted cuttings in 12-cm containers, one week of long nyctoperiods of 16 hours was given followed by short nyctoperiods of eight hours until flowering. Plants used for the photographs and the description were about four months old. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants.

Flower description:
Flowering habit.—Double flowers with numerous tepals arranged in axillary cymes. Usually 8 to 12 flowers per cyme. Many cymes in flower simultaneously. Flowers positioned above the foliage. Flowering continuous.
Natural flowering season.—Plants will flower year around regardless of nyctoperiod, however plants flower earlier and more abundantly from mid-February until November in the Northern Hemisphere.
Flowers.—Shape: Rounded. Diameter: About 6.5 cm. Depth (height): About 2.6 cm.
Flower buds.—Length: About 1.5 cm. Diameter: About 1.4 cm. Color: 47D.
Tepals.—Arrangement: Rosette. Shape: Rounded flabellate. Apex: Rounded. Margin, outer and inner tepals: Slightly crenate. Quantity per flower: Usually about 30 per flower. Size: Outer tepals: Length: About 3.1 cm. Width: About 3.6 cm. Inner tepals: Length: About 2.7 cm. Width: About 3.6 cm. Texture: Smooth, satiny, glabrous. Color: When opening, upper and lower surfaces: 53C to 53D. Fully opened, upper surface: 53C to 53D; flower color does not fade with subsequent development. Fully opened, lower surface: Closest to 53D.
Flower bracts.—Arrangement: Two, opposite. Shape: Broadly cordate. Apex: Apiculate. Margin: Serrate. Texture: Glabrous. Color, both surfaces: 139D overlain with anthocyanin, close to 53A.
Peduncles.—Angle: Erect. Length: About 4 cm. Texture: Pubescent. Color: Close to 180C to 180D.
Pedicels.—Angle: Erect. Length: About 1.2 cm. Texture: Pubescent. Color: 179C.
