Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named, ‘Don Angelo’, characterized by its upright, uniform and vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; uniform and freely flowering habit; double red purple-colored flowers; and excellent postproduction longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Kalanchoe blossfeldiana.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DON ANGELO’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe, botanically known as Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Don Angelo’.
The new Kalanchoe is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Naaldwijk, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new double-flowered Kalanchoe cultivars with attractive foliage and flower coloration.
The new Kalanchoe originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Naaldwijk, The Netherlands in March, 2005, of a proprietary selection of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana identified as code number 20010734-001, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with a proprietary selection of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana identified as code number 200408207-001, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Don Angelo was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Naaldwijk, The Netherlands in January, 2006.
Asexual reproduction of the new Kalanchoe by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Naaldwijk, The Netherlands since 2006 has shown that the unique features of this new Kalanchoe are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Don Angelo has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices 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 ‘Don Angelo’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Don Angelo’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe:
-
- 1. Upright, uniform and vigorous growth habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Uniform and freely flowering habit.
- 5. Double red purple-colored flowers.
- 6. Excellent postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Kalanchoe can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Kalanchoe differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Kalanchoe are larger than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Kalanchoe are more freely branching than plants of the female parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Kalanchoe have smaller leaves than plants of the female parent selection.
- 4. Plants of the new Kalanchoe and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Kalanchoe can also be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Kalanchoe differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Kalanchoe are larger than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Kalanchoe have larger leaves than plants of the male parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Kalanchoe have double flowers whereas plants of the male parent selection have single flowers.
- 4. Plants of the new Kalanchoe and the male parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have orange-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Kalanchoe can be compared to plants of the Kalanchoe blossfeldiana cultivar Don Juan, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,576. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Naaldwijk, The Netherlands, plants of the new Kalanchoe differed from plants of the cultivar Don Juan in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Kalanchoe were taller than plants of the cultivar Don Juan.
- 2. Plants of the new Kalanchoe had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Don Juan.
- 3. Flowers of plants of the new Kalanchoe had fewer petals than flowers of plants of the cultivar Don Juan.
- 4. Plants of the new Kalanchoe flowered earlier than plants of the cultivar Don Juan.
- 5. Flowers of plants of the new Kalanchoe were red purple in color whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar Don Juan were red in color.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Kalanchoe, 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 colors of the new Kalanchoe.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Don Angelo’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Don Angelo’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of the upper and tower surfaces of typical leaves (left), a typical inflorescence (center) and a typical flower (left).
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Naaldwijk, The Netherlands in a glass-covered greenhouse during the winter and under conditions which closely approximate commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 20° C. to 25° C. night temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 22° C. and light levels ranged from about 5 kilolux to 60 kilolux. Plants grown in 12-cm containers received long day/short night conditions (more than 14 hours of light) for about four weeks; plants then received photoinductive short day/long night conditions (minimum 14 hours darkness) until flowering. Plants were about 14 weeks old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the detailed description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
