Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘Binos’, characterized by its upright and mounded plant habit; double flowers that are light pinkish red in color and held above the foliage; and excellent postproduction longevity.

Description

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION/CULTIVAR DESIGNATION
Begonia×hybrida cultivar cultivar Binos.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
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 ‘Binos’.
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 ‘Bastos’, 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.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Binos’ 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 ‘Binos’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Binos’ as a new and distinct Begonia:
1. Upright and mounded plant habit.
2. Double flowers that are light 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 Bastos, primarily in flower color as plants of the cultivar Bastos have darker colored flowers than plants of the cultivar Binos.
Plants of the new cultivar differ primarily from plants of the cultivar Bellona, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,476, in flower color as plants of the cultivar Bellona have darker colored flowers than plants of the cultivar Binos.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
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 ‘Binos’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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.
