Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Sunny Yocamille’, characterized by its compact, upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit; uniform and freely flowering habit; daisy-type inflorescences with elongated oblong-shaped ray florets; light yellow-colored ray florets and bright yellow-colored disc florets; and natural season flowering in mid September in the Northern Hemisphere.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Chrysanthemum×morifolium cultivar Sunny Yocamille.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium, commercially known as a garden-type Chrysanthemum and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunny Yocamille’.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Alva, Fla. The objective of the breeding program is to create new garden-type Chrysanthemum cultivars having inflorescences with desirable inflorescence forms, attractive floret colors and good garden performance.
The new Chrysanthemum is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Chrysanthemum×morifolium cultivar Yocamille, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,791. The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of the cultivar Yocamille in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla. in April, 2002. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form, attractive ray floret color and good garden performance.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla. since June, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Sunny Yocamille 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 ‘Sunny Yocamille’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunny Yocamille’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact, upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit; dense and full plants.
3. Uniform and freely flowering habit.
4. Daisy-type inflorescences with elongated oblong-shaped ray florets.
5. Light yellow-colored ray florets and bright yellow-colored disc florets.
6. Natural season flowering in mid September in the Northern Hemisphere.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the parent, the cultivar Yocamille in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flowered about one day later than plants of the cultivar Yocamille under natural season conditions.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum and the cultivar Yocamille differed in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar Yocamille had salmon pink-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the Chrysanthemum cultivar Yoclaudia, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,212. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Yoclaudia in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Yoclaudia.
2. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum faded faster than ray florets of plants of the cultivar Yoclaudia.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can also be compared to plants of the Chrysanthemum cultivar Yellow Atlantico, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Yellow Atlantico in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Yellow Atlantico.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flowered about ten days earlier than plants of the cultivar Yellow Atlantico when grown under natural season conditions in southern climates.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum. These photographs show 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 Chrysanthemum.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunny Yocamille’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of the cultivar ‘Sunny Yocamille’.
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 following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Alva, Fla. during the winter in a fiberglass-covered greenhouse under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial garden-type Chrysanthemum production. One cutting was planted in a 15.25-cm container in early December, 2002. Plants were pinched one time, that is, the terminal apex was removed to enhance branching, at the end of December. One week after the pinch, plants were exposed to short day/long night photoperiodic treatments until flowering. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 26° C. and night averaged 18° C. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants.
