Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant named ‘PER7102’, characterized by its uniform, upright and mounded plant habit; strong stems; dark green-colored leaves; inflorescences with pink-colored flower bracts; mid-season flowering; large cyathia clusters; and excellent post-production longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd.
Cultivar denomination: ‘PER7102’.
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 name ‘PER7102’.
The new Poinsettia is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. cultivar Eckakeem, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,838. The cultivar PER7102 was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within a population of plants of the parent cultivar in a controlled environment in Encinitas, Calif., on Jan. 7, 2002. The new Poinsettia was selected on the basis of its flower bract coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new Poinsettia by terminal cuttings propagated in a controlled environment in Encinitas, Calif., since March, 2002, 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 ‘PER7102’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘PER7102’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Uniform, upright and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Strong stems.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Inflorescences with pink-colored flower bracts.
- 5. Mid-season flowering; natural season flower maturity date is early December for plants grown in Encinitas, Calif.
- 6. Large cyathia clusters.
- 7. Excellent post-production longevity.
Plants of the new Poinsettia differ from plants of the parent, the cultivar Eckakeem, primarily in flower bract color as plants of the cultivar Eckakeem have dark red-colored flower bracts.
Plants of the new Poinsettia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Peterstar Pink, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,879. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the cultivar Peterstar Pink in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Poinsettia were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Peterstar Pink.
- 2. Plants of the new Poinsettia had darker green-colored leaves than plants of the cultivar Peterstar Pink.
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 bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘PER7102’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘PER7102’.
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 Encinitas, Calif. during the winter under commercial practice in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse with day temperatures averaging about 24° C., night temperatures averaging about 19° C. and light levels about 4,000 foot-candles. Single plants were grown in 16.5-cm pots and pinched once. Plants were flowered under natural season short day/long night conditions. Plants were about 21 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.
