Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Portulaca plant named ‘Bodhigcre’, characterized by its upright, low spreading and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit; continuous flowering habit; and numerous large pale yellow-colored flowers with red purple-colored margins.
Description
Botanical classification: Portulaca grandiflora cultivar Bodhigcre.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Portulaca plant, botanically known as Portulaca grandiflora, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Bodhigcre.
The new Portulaca is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Lompoc, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Portulacas with dense plant habit, numerous large flowers and attractive flower coloration.
The new Portulaca originated from a self-pollination made by the Inventor of a proprietary Portulaca seedling selection identified as code number 2PR50-2, not patented. The new Portulaca was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the self-pollination by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Lompoc, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings in Lompoc, Calif. since May, 2000 has shown that the unique features of this new Portulaca are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Bodhigcre 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 ‘Bodhigcre’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bodhigcre’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Upright, low spreading and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit.
- 3. Continuous flowering habit.
- 4. Numerous large pale yellow-colored flowers with red purple-colored margins.
Compared to plants of the parent selection, plants of the new Portulaca differ in flower color, have a denser growth habit and flower continuously.
Plants of the new Portulaca can be compared to plants of the seed-propagated cultivar Sundial Cream, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lompoc, Calif., plants of the new Portulaca differed from plants of the cultivar Sundial Cream in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Portulaca had a denser growth habit than plants of the cultivar Sundial Cream.
- 2. Plants of the new Portulaca flowered continuously whereas plants of the cultivar Sundial Cream flowered intermittently.
- 3. Flowers of plants of the new Portulaca did not produce pollen whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar Sundial Cream produced pollen.
Plants of the new Portulaca can be compared to plants of the seed-propagated cultivar Margarita Cream, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lompoc, Calif., plants of the new Portulaca differed from plants of the cultivar Margarita Cream in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Portulaca were more vigorous than plants of the cultivar Margarita Cream.
- 2. Plants of the new Portulaca had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Margarita Cream.
- 3. Flowers of plants of the new Portulaca did not produce pollen whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar Margarita Cream produced pollen.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate 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 photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Portulaca.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bodhigcre’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Bodhigcre’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Lompoc, Calif., under commercial practice during the winter in a polycarbonate-covered greenhouse with day temperatures about 21 to 24° C., night temperatures about 16 to 18° C. and light levels about 5,000 to 9,000 foot-candles. Plants were grown with one rooted cutting per 15.25-cm container for about eleven weeks. 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.
