Abstract
A new cultivar of Allamanda plant named ‘Caramel Blush’ that is characterized by flowering during low light conditions and large yellow flowers with a yellow-orange center.
Description
Botanical classification: Allamanda carthartica.
Variety denomination: ‘Caramel Blush’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Allamanda plant botanically known as Allamanda carthartica and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Caramel Blush’.
The cultivar ‘Caramel Blush’ was discovered and selected in 2002 as a single plant in Upper Stone via Ingram, Queensland, Australia. ‘Caramel Blush’ was discovered growing in a bed of unnamed Allamanda cultivars. The exact parents are unknown.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Caramel Blush’ first occurred by terminal cuttings in 2003 in De Lier, The Netherlands. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Allamanda cultivar ‘Caramel Blush’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘Caramel Blush’ as a new and distinct cultivar apart from other existing known varieties of Allamanda.
-
- 1. Allamanda ‘Caramel Blush’ exhibits flowering during low light conditions.
- 2. Allamanda ‘Caramel Blush’ exhibits large yellow flowers with a yellow-orange center.
The closest comparison cultivars are plants of the Allamanda cathartica species. ‘Caramel Blush’ is distinguishable from plants of the species by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘Caramel Blush’ has flowers with a yellow-orange center. Plants of the Allamanda species do not have a yellow-orange center.
- 2. ‘Caramel Blush’ exhibits larger flowers.
- 3. ‘Caramel Blush’ flowers readily under low light conditions.
Plants of the new Allamanda can be compared to plants of the cultivar ‘BCT9810ALL’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,435). ‘Caramel Blush’ differs from ‘BCT9810ALL’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘Caramel Blush’ has single flowers with a yellow-orange center. ‘BCT9810ALL’ has double yellow flowers.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Allamanda ‘Caramel Blush’. The plant in the photograph shows an overall view of a 2 year old plant. The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
The following is a detailed description of the new Allamanda cultivar named ‘Caramel Blush’. Data was collected in De Kwakel, The Netherlands from 2 year old glass greenhouse grown plants in 15 cm. diameter containers. The time of year was Winter and the temperature range was 20-22 degrees Centigrade during the day and 20-22 degrees Centigrade at night. The light level was natural outdoor light. Color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2001 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species. ‘Caramel Blush’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
