Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘Bbdra’, characterized by its compact, upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; numerous double flowers that are light red in color and held above the foliage; and good postproduction longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Begonia×hiemalis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Bbdra’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant, botanically known as Begonia×hiemalis, commercially known as Elatior Begonia, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Bbdra’.
The new Begonia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new freely branching Begonia cultivars with numerous fully double flowers.
The new Begonia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor during the summer of 2001 of a proprietary selection of Begonia tuberosa identified as code number 7-653, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Begonia socotrana identified as code number 78.65, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Begonia was discovered and selected by the Inventor from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands during the spring of 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia by cuttings in a controlled environment in Rijsenhout, the Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Begonia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Bbdra 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 ‘Bbdra’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bbdra’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia:
-
- 1. Compact, upright and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Numerous double flowers that are light red in color and held above the foliage.
- 4. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Begonia differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in flower form as plants of the parent selections have single flowers. In addition, plants of the new Begonia are more freely flowering than plants of the parent selections.
Plants of the new Begonia can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Bbbon, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,587. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands, plants of the new Begonia differed from plants of the cultivar Bbbon in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Begonia and the cultivar Bbbon differed in stem color.
- 2. Flowers of plants of the new Begonia were darker in color than flowers of plants of the cultivar Bbbon.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Begonia, showing 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 Begonia. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bbdra’ grown in a container.
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. Plants used for the aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements were grown in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands in 13-cm containers and under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse during the spring and summer. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 20° C. and light levels were about 18,000 lux. Plants used for the photograph and the description were about three months from planting.
