Abstract

A Chrysanthemum plant named ‘VYGOLD’ characterized by its small sized blooms with yellow ray-florets and brown disc florets.

Description

RELATED CULTIVARS
‘VYGOLD’ is related to ‘VYMINI’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,627). ‘VYGOLD’ is a sport of ‘VYMINI’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
‘VYGOLD’ is a product of a breeding and selection program which had the objective of finding color mutants of ‘VYMINI’. The new plant of the present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of chrysanthemum plant that is a natural occurring sport of a parent chrysanthemum named ‘VYMINI’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,627). A comparison with Parent chrysanthemum ‘VYMINI’ is also made in this application. The new cultivar was discovered as a whole plant mutation in June 1996 by Nol Vijvergerg in a controlled environment (greenhouse) in 's-Gravenzande, Holland. The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘VYGOLD’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in September 1996 in 's-Gravenzande, Holland.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a new and distinct variety of chrysanthemum bearing small sized blooms with yellow ray-florets and brown 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 foliage of the new cultivar.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This new variety of chrysanthemum is of the botanical classification Chrysanthemum morifolium. The observations and measurements were gathered from plants grown in April/May in a greenhouse in 's-Gravenzande, 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. After a long day period of 14 days the photo-periodic response time in this crop was 46 days. After the long day period to flowering growth retardants were applied 2 to 3 times in an average dose of 2.5 gram/liter water. No tests were done on disease or insect resistance or susceptibility. No tests were done on cold or drought resistance. This new variety produces small sized blooms with yellow ray-florets and brown disc-florets blooming on the plant for 3 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 ‘VYGOLD’ can be planted without assimilation lightning (high pressure sodium lamps) between week 50 and week 40 of the next year under greenhouse conditions in Holland. With assimilation light (minimum level 2500 lux) it can be planted year round under greenhouse conditions in Holland.
The variety ‘VYGOLD’ is a natural mutant of ‘VYMINI’. When ‘VYGOLD’ and ‘VYMINI’ are being compared the following differences and similarities are noticed: The differences of ‘VYGOLD’ and ‘VYMINI’ are (1) flower-size and color (2) flower-form, (3) growth and (4) flower-count for which characteristics ‘VYGOLD’ has been selected out of ‘VYMINI’. All other characteristics of ‘VYMINI’ and ‘VYGOLD’ are similar.
(1) Flower-size: The flower of ‘VYGOLD’ is larger then the flower of ‘VYMINI’ and the flower-disc of ‘VYGOLD’ is darker brown (2) Flower-form: ‘VYGOLD’ has a more “tidy” flower as ‘VYMINI’ and the petals are somewhat longer. (3) The growth of ‘VYGOLD’ is more vigorous than the growth of ‘VYMINI’. (5) The flower-count of ‘VYGOLD’ is lower than the flower-count of ‘VYMINI’.
The following is a description of the plant and characteristics that distinguish ‘VYGOLD’ 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.
