Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Regal Geranium plant named ‘Oglreg3067’, characterized by its upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; relatively small leaves; and large light violet and purple bi-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Pelargonium×domesticum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘OGLREG3067’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Regal Geranium plant, botanically known as Pelargonium×domesticum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Oglreg3067’.
The new Regal Geranium plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Lompoc, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact and early and freely flowering Regal Geranium cultivars with large and attractive flowers.
The new Regal Geranium plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in March, 2000 in Lompoc, Calif. of a proprietary selection of Pelargonium×domesticum identified as code number 10041, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Pelargonium×domesticum identified as code number 9997, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Regal Geranium was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Lompoc, Calif. in March, 2001.
Asexual reproduction of the new Regal Geranium plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Connellsville, Pa. since May, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Regal Geranium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Regal Geranium have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices 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 ‘Oglreg3067’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Oglreg3067’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Regal Geranium:
    • 1. Upright and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Relatively small leaves.
    • 5. Large light violet and purple bi-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Regal Geranium differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in flowering habit as plants of the new Regal Geranium flower earlier and more freely than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Regal Geranium differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in growth and flowering habit as plants of the new Regal Geranium are more freely branching and more freely flowering than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Regal Geranium can be compared to plants of Pelargonium×domesticum ‘Jewel’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,519. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Regal Geranium differed primarily from plants of ‘Jewel’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Regal Geranium were more freely flowering than plants of ‘Jewel’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Regal Geranium and ‘Jewel’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Jewel’ had white and red purple bi-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Regal Geranium plant, 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 Regal Geranium plant.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Oglreg3067’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Oglreg3067’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Encinitas, Calif. in a plastic-covered greenhouse during the spring and under conditions which closely approximate Regal Geranium commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 24° C., night temperatures averaged 19° C. and light levels averaged 4,000 foot-candles. Plants had been growing for 13 weeks 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.
