Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Neoregelia plant named ‘Flirting’, characterized by its upright and outwardly arching growth habit; glossy green-colored lower leaves that are overlain with dark red purple; glossy purple-colored upper leaves; non-fading leaf color under low light levels; and good interiorscape and landscape performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Neoregelia macrosephala×Neoregelia carolinae.
Cultivar denomination: ‘FLIRTING’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Neoregelia plant, botanically known as Neoregelia macrosephala×Neoregelia carolinae, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Flirting’.
The new Neoregelia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Princeton, Fla. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Neoregelia plants with uniquely colored leaves.
The new Neoregelia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2002 in Princeton, Fla. of an unnamed proprietary selection of Neoregelia macrosephala, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Neoregelia carolinae ‘Victoria’, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Neoregelia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Princeton, Fla. in 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new Neoregelia plant by offsets in a controlled environment in Princeton, Fla. since 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Neoregelia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Neoregelia 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 ‘Flirting’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Flirting’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Neoregelia:
-
- 1. Upright and outwardly arching growth habit.
- 2. Glossy green-colored lower leaves that are overlain with dark red purple.
- 3. Glossy purple-colored upper leaves.
- 4. Non-fading leaf color under low light levels.
- 5. Good interiorscape and landscape performance.
Plants of the new Neoregelia differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in leaf color.
Plants of the new Neoregelia differ primarily from plants of the male parent, ‘Victoria’, in durability as plants of the new Neoregelia tolerate shipping stress and summer rains better than plants of ‘Victoria’.
Plants of the new Neoregelia can be compared to plants of the Neoregelia ‘Medium Rare’, not patented. Plants of the new Neoregelia grow faster and are more vigorous than plants of ‘Medium Rare’. In addition, plants of the new Neoregelia tolerate hot and rainy weather better than plants of ‘Medium Rare’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Neoregelia 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 Neoregelia plant.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Flirting’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Flirting’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe flowering plants grown during the spring in 15-cm containers in a polypropylene-covered greenhouse in Princeton, Fla. under commercial Neoregelia production practices. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 10° C. to 32° C., night temperatures ranged from 7° C. to 32° C. and light levels averaged 3,200 foot-candles. Plants were one year old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
