Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Alstroemeria plant named ‘Zaprinous’, characterized by its compact and mounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit; purple-colored flowers; and good postproduction longevity.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Alstroemeria hybrida cultivar Zaprinous.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Alstroemeria plant, botanically known as Alstroemeria hybrida, commercially used as a container Alstroemeria, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Zaprinous’.
The new Alstroemeria is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new compact container Alstroemeria cultivars with desirable flower and plant qualities, attractive flower colors and excellent postproduction longevity.
The new Alstroemeria originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 1999 in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands, of a proprietary Alstroemeria hybrida selection identified as 97120-003PN, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary Alstroemeria hybrida selection identified as 95197-002D, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Alstroemeria was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands in 1999.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by root divisions in a controlled environment in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands, since June, 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Alstroemeria are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Zaprinous 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 ‘Zaprinous’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Zaprinous’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Compact and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Purple-colored flowers.
    • 4. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Alstroemeria can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands, plants of the new Alstroemeria differed primarily from plants of the female parent selection in flower coloration as plants of the female parent selection had pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Alstroemeria can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands, plants of the new Alstroemeria differed primarily from plants of the male parent selection in flower coloration as plants of the female parent selection had red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Alstroemeria can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Staprilene, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,683. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands, plants of the new Alstroemeria differed from plants of the cultivar Staprilene in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Alstroemeria were smaller than plants of the cultivar Staprilene.
    • 2. Plants of the new Alstroemeria had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Staprilene.
    • 3. Plants of the new Alstroemeria had smaller flowers than plants of the cultivar Staprilene.
    • 4. Plants of the new Alstroemeria and the cultivar Staprilene differed in flower coloration.
    • 5. Flowers of plants of the new Alstroemeria had fewer stripes than flowers of plants of the cultivar Staprilene.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Alstroemeria, 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 Alstroemeria. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Zaprinous’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants of the new Alstroemeria grown in 17-cm containers in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands in a glass-covered greenhouse in ground beds. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 15 to 25° C., night temperatures ranged from 10 to 15° C. and light levels averaged 5,000 lux. Plants used for the photograph and description were about six months-old. The photograph and the description were taken during February. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
