Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Dodecatheon plant named ‘Aphrodite’, characterized by its upright and tall growth habit; long leaves; and large red purple flowers on long and thick scapes.
Description
Dodecatheon L. cultivar Aphrodite.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Dodecatheon plant, botanically known as Dodecatheon L., and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Aphrodite’.
The new cultivar originated from a random cross-pollination of two unidentified selections of Dodecatheon L., not patented, in Hillegom, The Netherlands. The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny from this cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Hillegom, The Netherlands, in 1990.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by root divisions taken in Hillegom, The Netherlands, since 1990, has shown that the unique features of this new Dodecatheon are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Aphrodite have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature 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 ‘Aphrodite’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Aphrodite’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Dodecatheon:
1. Upright and tall growth habit.
2. Long leaves.
3. Large red purple flowers on long and thick scapes.
Plants of the new Dodecatheon differ primarily from plants of the unidentified parent selections primarily in plant size, leaf size, flower size, scape thickness and flower color.
Plants of the new Dodecatheon can be compared to plants of the Dodecatheon cultivar Queen Victoria, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Hillegom, The Netherlands, plants of the new Dodecatheon differed from of the cultivar Queen Victoria in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Dodecatheon were taller than plants of the cultivar Queen Victoria.
2. Plants of the new Dodecatheon had longer and thicker scapes than plants of the cultivar Queen Victoria
3. Plants of the new Dodecatheon had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Queen Victoria.
4. Plants of the new Dodecatheon had red purple-colored flowers whereas plants of the cultivar Queen Victoria had pink-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, 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 Dodecatheon. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Aphrodite’.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants used for the photograph and the following description were about one year old and were grown in an outdoor nursery in Hillegom, The Netherlands. The following measurements and values represent averages taken from a group of typical flowering plants during the early summer.
