Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘Bbvolvir’, characterized by its compact, upright and mounded plant habit; freely flowering habit; double flowers with yellow-colored tepals; and excellent flower longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Begonia×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Bbvolvir’.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
Begonia Plant Named ‘Bbvolbro’; Josef Heuger, Applicant.
Begonia Plant Named ‘Bbvolkra’; Josef Heuger, Applicant.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant, botanically known as Begonia×hiemalis, commercially known as Elatior Begonia, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Bbvolvir’.
The new Begonia was discovered and selected by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Glandorf, Germany in May, 2000, as a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Begonia×hiemalis cultivar Genie, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,886. The new Begonia was observed as a single plant in a group of flowering plants of the parent selection.
Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia by cuttings in a controlled environment in Glandorf, Germany since 2001, has shown that the unique features of this new Begonia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Bbvolvir’ 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 ‘Bbvolvir’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bbvolvir’ as a new and distinct Begonia:
    • 1. Compact, upright and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely flowering habit.
    • 3. Double flowers with yellow-colored tepals.
    • 4. Excellent flower longevity.
Plants of the new Begonia can be compared to plants of the parent, the cultivar Genie. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Glandorf, Germany, plants of the new Begonia differed from plants of the cultivar Genie in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Begonia had smaller cymes than plants of the cultivar Genie.
    • 2. Plants of the new Begonia and the cultivar Genie differed in tepal coloration as plants of the cultivar Genie had light salmon red and yellow bi-colored tepals.
    • 3. Plants of the new Begonia and the cultivar Genie differed in pedicel and flower bract coloration as plants of the cultivar Genie had yellow orange-colored pedicels and flower bracts.
Plants of the new Begonia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Bbvolbro, disclosed in a U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/114,524, and the cultivar Bbvolkra, disclosed in a U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/114,523. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Glandorf, Germany, plants of the new Begonia differed from plants of the cultivars Bbvolbro and Bbvolkra primarily in tepal coloration.
Plants of the new Begonia can also be compared to plants of the cultivar 00/3, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,208. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Glandorf, Germany, plants of the new Begonia differed primarily from plants of the cultivar 00/3 in tepal coloration as plants of the cultivar 00/3 had orange red and yellow bi-colored tepals.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Begonia, 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 Begonia. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bbvolvir’ grown in a container.
 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 aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands during the spring and summer under conditions typical of commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures ranged from 15 to 20° C. and light levels were about 18,000 lux. Plants used for the photograph and the description were grown in 13-cm containers and were about three months old when the photograph and description were taken.
  • Botanical classification: Begonia×hiemalis cultivar Bbvolvir.
