Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Alstroemeria plant named ‘Tesmaya’, characterized by its compact and uniformly mounding plant habit; sturdy and strong plants; moderately vigorous growth habit; white and light red bi-colored flowers with short pedicels; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Alstroemeria hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘TESMAYA’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Alstroemeria plant, botanically known as Alstroemeria hybrida, grown typically as a potted garden Alstroemeria, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Tesmaya’.
The new Alstroemeria plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new potted garden Alstroemeria plants that flower continuously and have attractive leaf and flower coloration.
The new Alstroemeria plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands in April, 2006, of a proprietary Alstroemeria hybrida selection identified as code number Kc709, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary Alstroemeria hybrida selection identified as code number Pc504, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Alstroemeria plant 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 De Kwakel, The Netherlands in April, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Alstroemeria plant by root divisions in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands since May, 2007 has shown that the unique features of this new Alstroemeria plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Alstroemeria have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment conditions 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 ‘Tesmaya’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Tesmaya’ as a new and distinct Alstroemeria plant:
    • 1. Compact and uniformly mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Sturdy and strong plants; moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. White and light red bi-colored flowers with short pedicels.
    • 4. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Alstroemeria can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Alstroemeria differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Alstroemeria are shorter than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Alstroemeria have shorter leaves than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Alstroemeria and the female parent selection differ in flower bud color as plants of the female patent selection have lavender green-colored flower buds.
    • 4. Plants of the new Alstroemeria and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female patent selection have lavender-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Alstroemeria can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Alstroemeria differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Alstroemeria are shorter than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Alstroemeria and the male parent selection differ in flower bud color as plants of the male patent selection have pinkish green-colored flower buds.
    • 3. Plants of the new Alstroemeria and the male parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the male patent selection have pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Alstroemeria can be compared to plants of the Alstroemeria hybrida ‘Staprivane’ disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,131. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Alstroemeria differed primarily from plants of ‘Staprivane’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Alstroemeria and ‘Staprivane’ differed in flower bud color as plants of ‘Staprivane’ had purple-colored flower buds.
    • 2. Plants of the new Alstroemeria and ‘Staprivane’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Staprivane’ had purple-colored flowers.
    • 3. Plants of the new Alstroemeria had shorter pedicels than plants of ‘Staprivane’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Alstroemeria plant 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 Alstroemeria plant. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Tesmaya’ grown in a container.
