Abstract

A new and distinct early flowering Begonia plant with dark red colored flowers.

Description

Botanical classification: Begonia elatior.
Varietal denomination: ‘BBVERONICA’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant known by the varietal name ‘BBVeronica’. The new variety was discovered in 1999 in a selected breeding program in Aalsmeer, Netherlands. The new variety is a color mutation of ‘Line’ (unpatented parent). The new variety has a shape and vigor similar to its parent, but differs in flower color and rate of opening from its parent. The new variety was first asexually reproduced in 1999 by cuttings in Aalsmeer, Netherlands. The new variety has been trial and field tested at Aalsmeer and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The following traits distinguish ‘BBVeronica’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. The flower color is dark red.
2. The flower exhibits better opening.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions by cuttings carried out in Aalsmeer, Netherlands. The plants were cultivated in a greenhouse having an average temperature of 20° C. Plants for the description were 12 weeks old and in 13 cm containers. The color readings were taken in a shaded greenhouse under natural light in the summer. Color references are primarily to The 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
