Abstract
A new cultivar of Carnation plant named ‘Moonlight’ that is characterized by flowers with numerous petals, large cream-white flowers, vigorous growth and a short response time.
Description
Botanical classification: Dianthus caryophyllus.
Variety denomination: ‘Moonlight’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Carnation plant botanically known as Dianthus caryophyllus and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Moonlight’.
‘Moonlight’ is a naturally occurring branch mutation of a proprietary Carnation cultivar ‘T-113’ (not patented). ‘Moonlight’ was discovered in a greenhouse in a cultivated area of Bnei-Zion, Israel in November of 2008.
Asexual reproduction first occurred when terminal cuttings of the new cultivar ‘Moonlight’ were propagated in December of 2008 in Bnei-Zion, Israel. 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 Carnation cultivar ‘Moonlight’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘Moonlight’ as a new and distinct cultivar apart from other existing known varieties of Carnation.
-
- 1. Carnation ‘Moonlight’ exhibits flowers with numerous petals.
- 2. Carnation ‘Moonlight’ exhibits large cream-white flowers.
- 3. Carnation ‘Moonlight’ exhibits vigorous growth.
- 4. Carnation ‘Moonlight’ exhibits a short response time.
The new cultivar ‘Moonlight’ is distinguishable from the parent Carnation ‘T-113’ by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘Moonlight’ exhibits more flower petals than ‘T-113’.
- 2. ‘Moonlight’ exhibits larger diameter flowers than ‘T-113’.
- 3. ‘Moonlight’ exhibits a slower growth rate than ‘T-113’.
The closest comparison cultivar is Carnation ‘S-187’ (not patented). The new cultivar ‘Moonlight’ is distinguishable from ‘S-187’ by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘Moonlight’ exhibits cream-white colored flowers. The flowers of ‘S-187’ are green-white.
- 2. ‘Moonlight’ exhibits a shorter overall height than ‘S-187’.
- 3. ‘Moonlight’ exhibits a faster growth rate than ‘S-187’.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Carnation ‘Moonlight’. The plant in the photograph shows an overall view of a 3.5 month 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 Carnation cultivar named ‘Moonlight’. Data was collected in Ben-Zion, Israel from 3.5 month plastic greenhouse grown plants. The time of year was Winter. The average temperature during the day was 22° Centigrade and 15° Centigrade at night. The average light level was 700 Lux. 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. ‘Moonlight’ 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.
