Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Camellia plant named ‘Curly Lady’, characterized by its upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; spirally twisting lateral branches; freely branching growth habit; glossy dark green-colored leaves; and large semi-double red-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Camellia japonica.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Curly Lady’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Camellia, botanically known as Camellia japonica, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Curly Lady’.
The new Camellia is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of the Camellia japonica cultivar Lady Campbell, not patented. The new Camellia was discovered and selected as a branch mutation on a single plant of ‘Lady Campbell’ by the Inventor in 1999 in a controlled environment in Beugen, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new Camellia by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Beugen, The Netherlands since 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Camellia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new Camellia has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and/or light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Curly Lady’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Curly Lady’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Spirally twisting lateral branches.
    • 3. Freely branching growth habit.
    • 4. Glossy dark green-colored leaves.
    • 5. Large semi-double red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Camellia differ primarily from plants of the parent, the cultivar Lady Campbell, in lateral branch orientation as plants of the cultivar Lady Campbell have straight, not twisting, lateral branches.
Plants of the new Camellia can also be compared to plants of the Camellia cultivar TDN 1116, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,213. Plants of the new Camellia differed from plants of the cultivar TDN 1116 primarily in lateral branch orientation as plants of the cultivar TDN 1116 have straight, not twisting, lateral branches.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Camellia. 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 Camellia.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Curly Lady’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Curly Lady’.
The photograph in the middle of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical lateral branch of ‘Curly Lady’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical leaf of ‘Curly Lady’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The new Camellia has 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 aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 7.5-liter containers in Boskoop, The Netherlands, in an outdoor nursery and under commercial production practices. Plants used for the photographs and the description were about four years old. The photographs and description were taken during the spring with day temperatures ranging from 3 to 20° C. and night temperatures ranging from 0 to 10° C. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
