Abstract

A new and distinct Aloe cultivar named ‘Pickled Pink’ is disclosed, characterized a very papillose texture to leaves, jewel-like appearance to leaves with bright coral leaf margins and papillae; overlaid with glaucous blue green patina. Plants are very floriferous and exhibit an upright morphology. The new variety is an Aloe, typically produced as a garden or container plant.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Aloe hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Pickled Pink’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program. The new variety originated from a cross pollination of the seed parent, an unpatented proprietary selection of Aloe×rauhii×parvula referred to as ‘P’ with the pollen parent an unpatented proprietary selection of, Aloe parvula×capitata referred to as ‘Parvula hybrid #5’. The crossing was made during March of 2006 in Vista, Calif., at a commercial greenhouse. ‘Pickled Pink’ was discovered by the inventor, Renee O'Connell, in November of 2006, in Vista, Calif. at a commercial greenhouse.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Pickled Pink’ was first performed in Vista, Calif., at a commercial greenhouse by vegetative leaf cuttings in February 2007. ‘Pickled Pink’ has since produced several generations and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Pickled Pink’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘Pickled Pink.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Pickled Pink’ as a new and distinct Aloe cultivar:
    • 1. Very papillose texture to leaves.
    • 2. Jewel-like appearance to leaves with bright coral leaf margins and papillae; overlaid with glaucous blue green patina.
    • 3. Very floriferous.
    • 4. Upright morphology.
    • 5. Unusual coral margins and papillae almost appear fluorescent at certain angles.
PARENTAL COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Pickled Pink’ are similar to the seed parent ‘P’ in most horticultural characteristics. However, ‘Pickled Pink’ exhibits a coral pink margin and papillae, not observed in ‘P.’ Additionally, ‘Pickled Pink’ exhibits more leaf papillae than ‘P’ and ‘Pickled Pink’ exhibits a blue-green patina, combined with a bright coral margin and textured papillae, not observed ‘P’. ‘Pickled Pink’ is also more floriferous than Aloe hybrid ‘P’.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Pickled Pink’ are similar to the pollen parent ‘Parvula hybrid #5’ in most horticultural characteristics. However ‘Pickled Pink’ exhibits a coral pink margin and papillae, not exhibited in ‘Parvula hybrid #5.’ Additionally, ‘Pickled Pink’ is more floriferous than Parvula hybrid #5, and has a more compact and upright morphology.
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
‘Pickled Pink’ can be compared to the unpatented commercial variety Aloe ‘Black Beauty.’ Plants of Aloe ‘Black Beauty’ are similar to plants of ‘Pickled Pink’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, ‘Pickled Pink’ produces more offsets, and a more upright plant. Additionally, ‘Pickled Pink’ has intense pink margins and papillae not observed in ‘Black Beauty.’‘Pickled Pink’ is also more floriferous than ‘Black Beauty’.
‘Pickled Pink’ can also be compared to the unpatented commercial variety Aloe ‘Midnight.’ Plants of Aloe ‘Midnight’ are similar to plants of ‘Pickled Pink’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, ‘Pickled Pink’ produces a significantly more upright plant and has foliage that produces a brighter pink margin. Additionally, ‘Pickled Pink’ produces more offsets and is more floriferous than ‘Black Beauty’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘Pickled Pink’ grown outdoors in Vista, Calif. This plant is approximately 7 months old, shown in a 4 inch pot. 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.
