Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘BIG BIRD’, characterized by a large ruffled yellow flower with a dark maroon center. ‘BIG BIRD’ is a free flowering plant with an upright, compact habit, and glossy, dark green foliage.

Description

Botanical classification: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.
Varietal Denomination: The new plant has the varietal denomination ‘BIG BIRD’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus, botanically known as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘BIG BIRD’.
The genus Hibiscus comprises about 250 species of herbs, shrubs and trees in warm temperate and tropical regions; with leaves usually simple, mostly palmately veined, lobed or parted; flowers are mostly solitary in the leaf axils but sometimes in racemes, corymbs or panicles. Hibiscus is included in the family Malvaceae, which comprises about 95 genera of herbs, shrubs and trees originating in tropical and temperate regions. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is a glabrate shrub, seldom over 8 feet tall in cultivation, but treelike to 15 feet or more in tropical regions. Leaves grow to 6-inches in length, and are ovate, usually serrate, mostly glossy green. Flowers are solitary in upper leaf axils.
The new Hibiscus is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Webster, Tex. The objective of the program was to create new Hibiscus selections with improved bloom quality, color and floriferousness. A further objective was to produce plants that can be commercially produced on their own root systems, with improved plant habit, with regard to vigor and postproduction longevity.
The new variety was discovered in a controlled breeding program of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and differs from its parents and other known cultivars of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis by the following characteristics in combination:
    • 1. Upright, compact symmetrical plant habit that is suitable for container production;
    • 2. Healthy dark green foliage;
    • 3. Vigorous growth habit;
    • 4. Large ruffled yellow flower with a dark maroon center; and
    • 5. Free flowering.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The culitvar ‘BIG BIRD’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, nutrition and water status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be unique characteristics of ‘BIG BIRD’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘BIG BIRD’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Upright, compact symmetrical plant habit that is suitable for container production
    • 2. Healthy dark green foliage.
    • 3. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 4. Large ruffled yellow flower with a dark maroon center.
    • 5. Free flowering.
Asexual reproduction of the new variety by stem cuttings, performed in Webster, Tex. and Houston, Tex. have confirmed that the distinctive characteristics of the new variety are stable and transmitted to succeeding generations, and the new variety reproduces true to type.
COMPARISON WITH PARENTS AND OTHER CULTIVARS
‘BIG BIRD’ is distinguished from its female parent ‘Spring Break’ (not patented) by its flower color and size. Spring Break has an ivory bloom with a nearly black, star shaped eye. The flower on ‘BIG BIRD’ is consistently at least 2.5 cm greater in diameter than that on ‘Spring Break’. ‘BIG BIRD’ is distinguished from its male parent, an unnamed, unpatented seedling of ‘Stormy Moon’ (not patented)בPurple Passion’ (not patented), in the flower color. The seedling selected from the cross of ‘Stormy Moon’בPurple Passion’ has a grayed-purple flower while ‘BIG BIRD’ has a yellow flower with a dark maroon center.
The closest commercial cultivar to ‘BIG BIRD’ known by the Inventor is the unpatented cultivar ‘Surf Rider’. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Webster, Tex., plants of ‘BIG BIRD’ differ from plants of ‘Surf Rider’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Flowers of the new hibiscus have a thicker texture than flowers on the cultivar ‘Surf Rider’;
    • 2. Plants of the new Hibiscus are easier to clone via rooting than plants of the cultivar Surf Rider; and
    • 3. Plants of the new Hibiscus possess a more upright growth than that of the cultivar ‘Surf Rider’, which is a low growing and prostate plant.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying illustrations show a specimen of the new cultivar in a photographic illustration as true to color as is reasonably possible to make in an illustration of this character. Color values in the illustrations may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description, which accurately describes the actual colors of the new Hibiscus.
FIG. 1 illustrates a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘BIG BIRD’;
FIG. 2 illustrates the scale of a typical flower of ‘BIG BIRD’;
FIG. 3 illustrates the typical young to mature foliage of ‘BIG BIRD’; the abaxial and adaxial surfaces are shown at each stage; and
FIG. 4 illustrates a dissected flower of ‘BIG BIRD’, including shape and size of petals and characteristics of the reproductive structures.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
‘BIG BIRD’ has not been observed under all possible environmental, cultural and light conditions. The following observations and descriptions are of plants grown in Fulshear, Tex., in April 2005, under polypropylene shadecloth providing a 30 percent light reduction, and under conditions which closely approximate commercial production. Plants described were approximately one year old.
In this description, color references are to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (4th Edition) and terminology used in the color descriptions herein refers to plate numbers in this color chart. Phenotypic expression may vary with light intensity, cultural and environmental conditions.
