Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Albuca plant named ‘Frizzle Sizzle’, characterized by its upright plant habit; sturdy and strong plants; relatively rapid bulb development; short, spiraling leaves; and fragrant flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Albuca spiralis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘FRIZZLE SIZZLE’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Albuca plant, botanically known as Albuca spiralis and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Frizzle Sizzle’.
The new Albuca plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Albuca plants with strongly spiraling leaves.
The new Albuca plant originated from a self-pollination made by the Inventor in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands in May, 2005 of an unnamed selection of Albuca spiralis, not patented. The new Albuca plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated self-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands in December, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Albuca plant by in vitro propagation in a controlled environment in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands since November, 2008 has shown that the unique features of this new Albuca plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Albuca have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental 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 ‘Frizzle Sizzle’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Frizzle Sizzle’ as a new and distinct Albuca plant:
    • 1. Upright plant habit.
    • 2. Sturdy and strong plants.
    • 3. Relatively rapid bulb development.
    • 4. Short, spiraling leaves.
    • 5. Fragrant flowers.
Plants of the new Albuca can be compared to plants of the parent selection. Plants of the new Albuca differ from plants of the parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Bulbs of plants of the new Albuca develop faster than bulbs of plants of the parent selection.
    • 2. Leaves of plants of the new Albuca are thicker and more spiraling than leaves of plants of the parent selection.
Plants of the new Albuca can be compared to plants of other unnamed selections of Albuca spiralis, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands, plants of the new Albuca differed from plants of other unnamed selections of Albuca spiralis in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Bulbs of plants of the new Albuca developed faster than bulbs of plants of other unnamed selections of Albuca spiralis.
    • 2. Leaves of plants of the new Albuca were thicker and more spiraling than leaves of plants of other unnamed selections of Albuca spiralis.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Albuca 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 Albuca plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Frizzle Sizzle’.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Frizzle Sizzle’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants of the new Albuca grown in a glass-covered greenhouse during the winter and spring in 10-cm containers in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands and under environmental conditions and cultural practices typical of commercial potted Albuca production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 10° C. to 15° C., night temperatures ranged from 5° C. to 10° C. and light levels ranged from 2,500 to 3,500 lux. Plants were two years old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1966 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
