Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant named ‘Ted's Red’, characterized by its uniform, compact, upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching growth habit; narrow branching angle that reduces stem breakage; inflorescences with upright red-colored flower bracts; relatively late flowering; and excellent post-production longevity; flower bracts resist fading.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. cultivar Ted's Red.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant, botanically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd., and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Ted's Red’.
The new Poinsettia is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of the Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. cultivar Red Sails, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,980. The new Poinsettia was discovered and selected by the Inventor from within a population of flowering plants of the cultivar Red Sails in July, 1998, in a controlled environment in Waterloo, Iowa. The selection of this plant was based on the upright orientation of its red-colored flower bracts.
Asexual reproduction of the new Poinsettia by terminal cuttings propagated in a controlled environment in Waterloo, Iowa, since July, 1998, has shown that the unique features of this new Poinsettia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Ted's Red’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Ted's Red’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Uniform, compact, upright and mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching growth habit.
3. Narrow branching angle that reduces stem breakage.
4. Inflorescences with upright red-colored flower bracts.
5. Relatively late flowering; natural season flower maturity date is early December for plants grown in Waterloo, Iowa.
6. Excellent post-production longevity; flower bracts resist fading.
Plants of the new Poinsettia are most similar to plants of the parent, the cultivar Red Sails. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Waterloo, Iowa, plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the cultivar Red Sails in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Poinsettia were shorter than plants of the cultivar Red Sails.
2. Plants of the new Poinsettia were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Red Sails.
3. Plants of the new Poinsettia had more upright lateral branches (narrower branching angle) than plants of the cultivar Red Sails.
4. Plants of the new Poinsettia had smaller and thicker leaves than plants of the cultivar Red Sails.
5. Plants of the new Poinsettia flowered about one week later than plants of the cultivar Red Sails.
6. Plants of the new Poinsettia had smaller inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Red Sails.
7. Flower bracts of plants of the new Poinsettia were more upright than flower bracts of plants of the cultivar Red Sails.
8. Plants of the new Poinsettia had longer postproduction longevity than plants of the cultivar Red Sails as flower bracts of plants of the new Poinsettia did not fade with development whereas flower bracts of plants of the cultivar Red Sails faded with development.
Plants of the new Poinsettia can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Orion, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Waterloo, Iowa, plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the cultivar Orion in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Poinsettia were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Orion.
2. Plants of the new Poinsettia had more upright lateral branches (narrower branching angle) than plants of the cultivar Orion.
3. Plants of the new Poinsettia had smaller, thicker and lighter green-colored leaves than plants of the cultivar Orion.
4. Plants of the new Poinsettia had lighter red-colored flower bracts than plants of the cultivar Orion.
5. Plants of the new Poinsettia flowered about two weeks later than plants of the cultivar Orion.
6. Plants of the new Poinsettia had longer postproduction longevity than plants of the cultivar Orion.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Poinsettia, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Poinsettia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Ted's Red’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Ted's Red’.
The new Poinsettia 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 aforementioned photographs, following observations and averaged measurements describe plants grown in Waterloo, Iowa during the autumn and winter under commercial practice in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse with day temperatures about 65 to 70° F. and night temperatures about 65° F. Single plants were grown in 15-cm pots and pinched once. Plants were flowered under natural season short day/long night conditions. Plants were about 18 weeks from unrooted cuttings when the photographs and the detailed botanical description were taken.
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.
