Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant named ‘Estrella Red’, characterized by its uniform, strong, upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; early flowering response; large inflorescences with dark red-colored flower bracts; and excellent post-production longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Euphorbia pulcherrima.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Estrella Red’.
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 ‘Estrella Red’.
The new Poinsettia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new low temperature-tolerant Poinsettia cultivars with uniform plant habit and excellent postproduction longevity.
The new Poinsettia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor on Jan. 15, 2000, of a proprietary selection of Poinsettia identified as code number 99005, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Poinsettia identified as code number 99105-02, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Estrella Red was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands on Nov. 16, 2001.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings propagated in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands since July, 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 cultivar Estrella Red 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 ‘Estrella Red’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Estrella Red’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia:
-
- 1. Uniform, strong, upright and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Early flowering response.
- 5. Large inflorescences with dark red-colored flower bracts.
- 6. Excellent post-production longevity.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the female parent primarily in flower bract size and coloration as plants of the female parent selection had larger and lighter red-colored flower bracts.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the male parent primarily in flower bract shape as plants of the male parent selection had lobed flower bracts. In addition, plants of the new Poinsettia had longer postproduction longevity than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Poinsettia can be compared to plants of the Poinsettia cultivar Fiscor, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,364. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the cultivar Fiscor in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Poinsettia had stronger branches than plants of the cultivar Fiscor.
- 2. Flower bracts of plants of the new Poinsettia were mostly entire with shallow lobing whereas flower bracts of plants of the cultivar Fiscor were lobed.
- 3. Plants of the new Poinsettia had longer postproduction longevity than plants of the cultivar Fiscor.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Poinsettia. The photograph shows 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 Poinsettia. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Estrella Red’ grown in a container.
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 following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 13-cm containers in De Kwakel, The Netherlands during the autumn and winter in a glass-covered greenhouse and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Poinsettia production. During the first ten weeks of production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 20° C. and during the finishing production phase, day and night temperatures averaged 17° C. Light levels throughout the entire production period were about 200 Watts per square meter. Plants were pinched one time and were forced into flower under short day/long night photoperiodic conditions. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were about 17 to 18 weeks old when the photographs and the detailed description were taken.
