Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Mona Lisa Salmon’, characterized by its double anemone-type inflorescences with lanceolate-shaped, salmon pink-colored ray florets; strong and upright flowering stems; freely flowering habit; early and uniform flowering response; and good postproduction longevity.

Description

Botanical description: Chrysanthemum×morifolium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Mona Lisa Salmon’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium and referred to by the name ‘Mona Lisa Salmon’.
The new Chrysanthemum is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Chrysanthemum×morifolium cultivar Mona Lisa Pink, not patented. The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventor in April, 2003 as a single flowering plant within a population of plants of the parent selection in a controlled environment in Hensbroek, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by terminal cuttings harvested in Hensbroek, The Netherlands since May, 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Mona Lisa Salmon 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 ‘Mona Lisa Salmon’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Mona Lisa Salmon’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Double anemone-type inflorescences with lanceolate-shaped, salmon pink-colored ray florets; typically grown as a spray-type.
    • 2. Strong and upright flowering stems.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Early and uniform flowering response.
    • 5. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the parent, the cultivar Mona Lisa Pink. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Hensbroek, The Netherlands, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Mona Lisa Pink primarily in ray floret coloration.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the Chrysanthemum cultivar Dekdakar, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,009. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Hensbroek, The Netherlands, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed primarily from plants of the cultivar Dekdakar in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had more leaves and inflorescences per plant than the cultivar Dekdakar.
    • 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had shorter ray florets than plants of the cultivar Dekdakar.
    • 3. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum were salmon pink in color whereas ray florets of plants of the cultivar Dekdakar were yellow in color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, 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 actual colors of the new Chrysanthemum.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering stem of ‘Mona Lisa Salmon’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of upper and lower surfaces of typical inflorescences and typical leaves of ‘Mona Lisa Salmon’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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. The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the winter in Hensbroek, The Netherlands, under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse. Plants were initially given long day/short night treatments followed by short day/long night treatments to induce flower initiation and development. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 17.5° C. to 30° C., night temperatures ranged from 18.5° C. to 24° C. and light levels were about five kilolux. Plants were pinched once and were about eleven weeks from planting when the photographs and the description were taken.
  • Botanical classification: Chrysanthemum×morifolium cultivar Mona Lisa Salmon.
  • Commercial classification: Double anemone-type Chrysanthemum typically grown as a spray-type cut flower.
  • Parentage: Naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Chrysanthemum×morifolium Mona Lisa Pink, not patented.
  • Propagation:
      • Type.—Terminal tip cuttings.
      • Time to initiate roots, summer.—About 6 days at 20° C.
      • Time to initiate roots, winter.—About 7 days at 20° C.
      • Time to produce a rooted cutting, summer.—About 14 days at 20° C.
      • Time to produce a rooted cutting, winter.—About 16 days at 20° C.
