Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Celosia plant named ‘Bkcelpi’, characterized by its upright and compact plant habit; freely branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; light red purple-colored flowers arranged on conical compound spikes; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Celosia hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘BKCELPI’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Celosia plant, botanically known as Celosia hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Bkcelpi’.
The new Celosia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Maasdijk, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Celosia plants that have unique and attractive flowers, long flowering period and good garden performance.
The new Celosia plant originated from a cross-pollination in June, 2006 in Maasdijk, The Netherlands of a proprietary selection of Celosia hybrida identified as code number 1400009, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Celosia hybrida identified as code number 1400162, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Celosia 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 environment in Maasdijk, The Netherlands in March, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Celosia plant by cuttings in a controlled environment in Maasdijk, The Netherlands since June, 2007 has shown that the unique features of this new Celosia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Celosia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘Bkcelpi’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bkcelpi’ as a new and distinct Celosia plant:
-
- 1. Upright plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Freely flowering habit.
- 5. Light red purple-colored flowers arranged on conical compound spikes.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Celosia differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Celosia are taller than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Celosia are narrower than leaves of plants of the female parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Celosia and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have bright pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Celosia differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Celosia are taller than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Celosia have apiculate apices whereas leaves of plants of the male parent selection have short acuminate apices.
- 3. Plants of the new Celosia and the male parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have pale salmon-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Celosia can be compared to plants of Celosia ‘Caracas’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Celosia differed primarily from ‘Caracas’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Pants of the new Celosia and ‘Caracas’ differed in leaf color.
- 2. Plants of the new Celosia flowered earlier than plants of ‘Caracas’.
- 3. Plants of the new Celosia and ‘Caracas’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Caracas’ had purple-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Celosia 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 Celosia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bkcelpi’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bkcelpi’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in 11-cm containers during the early spring in a glass-covered greenhouse in Maasdijk, The Netherlands and under commercial practices. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 19° C. to 20° C. and night temperatures averaged 19° C. Plants were pinched one time and were 15 weeks 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.
