Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Paeonia plant named ‘Singing In The Rain II’, characterized by its compact and symmetric globular plant habit; vigorous growth habit; narrow and finely-divided foliage; freely flowering habit; bright yellow-colored flowers that are initially suffused with deep pink when opening and are arranged on strong peduncles just above and beyond the foliage; long flowering period; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Paeonia lactiflora×(Paeonia lutea×Paeonia suffruticosa).
  • Cultivar denomination: ‘Singing In The Rain II’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Paeonia, botanically known as Paeonia lactiflora×(Paeonia lutea×Paeonia suffruticosa) and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Singing In The Rain II’.
The new Paeonia is a naturally-occurring division mutation of the Paeonia lactiflora×(Paeonia lutea×Paeonia suffruticosa) cultivar Singing In The Rain, not patented. The new Paeonia was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant in a population of plants of the parent selection in a controlled environment in Windham, N.H. during the spring of 2003. The new Paeonia was selected based on its plant growth habit.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by tissue culture in L'Assomption, Quebec, Canada, since the fall of 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Paeonia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Singing In The Rain II have 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 following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Singing In The Rain II’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Singing In The Rain II’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Compact and symmetric globular plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Narrow and finely-divided foliage.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Bright yellow-colored flowers that are initially suffused with deep pink when opening and are arranged on strong peduncles just above and beyond the foliage.
    • 6. Long flowering period.
    • 7. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Paeonia differ primarily from plants of the parent, the cultivar Singing In The Rain, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Paeonia are more compact and more upright than plants of the cultivar Singing In The Rain.
    • 2. Plants of the new Paeonia have more finely-dissected leaves than plants of the cultivar Singing In The Rain.
Plants of the new Paeonia can be compared to plants of the Paeonia cultivar Garden Treasure, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,718. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Windham, N.H., plants of the new Paeonia differed from plants of the cultivar Garden Treasure in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Paeonia were more compact and more globular than plants of the cultivar Garden Treasure.
    • 2. Plants of the new Paeonia had stronger flowering stems than plants of the cultivar Garden Treasure.
    • 3. Plants of the new Paeonia had narrower and more finely-dissected leaves than plants of the cultivar Garden Treasure.
    • 4. Plants of the new Paeonia were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Garden Treasure.
    • 5. Plants of the new Paeonia flowered earlier than plants of the cultivar Garden Treasure.
    • 6. Plants of the new Paeonia had smaller flowers with fewer petals per flower than plants of the cultivar Garden Treasure.
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 Paeonia.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Singing In The Rain II’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Singing In The Rain II’.
 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.
