Abstract

A Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Zanmuflaminpine’ characterized by its medium sized blooms with two-toned salmon ray florets and prolific branching; natural season flower date September 6 (week 36); blooming for a period of 5 weeks.

Description

Botanical designation: Chrysanthemum×morifolium Ramat.

Cultivar denomination: ‘Zanmuflaminpine’.

RELATED CULTIVARS

The new plant is related to ‘Zanmuflamin’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,589). The new cultivar is a mutant of ‘Zanmuflamin’.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium Ramat., commercially known as a garden mum, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar denomination ‘Zanmuflaminpine’. The new plant is a product of a breeding and selection program which had the objective of finding color mutants from existing parent plants. The new plant comprises a whole plant mutant of the parent ‘Zanmuflamin’. Plants from the new cultivar ‘Zanmuflaminpine’ differ from plants of the parent in the color of the ray-florets; the color in the mutant is two-toned salmon, while it is purple in the parent.

The new cultivar was discovered as a color mutant in April 2006 by Wilhelmus Bernardus Blom in a controlled environment (greenhouse) in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands. The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘Zanmuflaminpine’ was accomplished when after planting of the mutant as a motherplant in Rijsenhout, vegetative cuttings from this mutant were taken and propagated further in. The new cultivar has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The present invention of a new and distinct variety of Chrysanthemum is shown in the accompanying drawings, the color being as nearly true as possible with color photographs of this type.

FIG. 1 shows a plant of the cultivar in full bloom.

FIG. 2 shows the various stages of blooms of the new cultivar.

FIG. 3 shows the various stages of foliage of the new cultivar.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The observations and measurements were gathered from plants grown out door in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands, under natural day length and temperature and planted in week 23 in 2010. The natural blooming date of this crop was September 6 (week 36). The average height of the plants was 32 cm. No growth retardants were used. No tests were done on disease or insects resistance or susceptibility. No tests were done on cold or drought resistance. This new variety produces medium sized blooms with two-toned salmon ray florets blooming for a period of 5 weeks.

From the cultivars known to inventor the most similar existing cultivar in comparison to ‘Zanmuflaminpine’ is ‘Zanmuflamin’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,589) and ‘Zanmuflamincran’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 13/200,324), another mutant developed from the same parent. When ‘Zanmuflamin’, ‘Zanmuflaminpine’ and ‘Zanmuflamincran’ are being compared the following difference is noticed: The color of the ray-florets is purple in ‘Zanmuflamin’, red-purple in ‘Zanmuflamincran’ and salmon in ‘Zanmuflaminpine’.

The following is a description of the plant and characteristics that distinguish ‘Zanmuflaminpine’ as a new and distinct variety.

The color designations are taken from the plant itself. Accordingly, any discrepancies between the color designations and the colors depicted in the photographs are due to photographic tolerances. The color chart used in this description is: The Royal Horticultural Society Colour chart, edition 2001.
