Abstract

A new variety of carnation plant named ‘CFPC Mele’ having a compact form of plant with well presented yellow flowers.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Botanical classification: Dianthus caryophyllus.
Variety denomination: The new carnation variety denomination is ‘CFPC Mele’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of hybrid carnation botanically known as Dianthus caryophyllus, and referred to by the cultivar name ‘CFPC Mele’. The new variety, identified as selection no. 060102, was discovered as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation in a controlled cultivated planting of the variety ‘CFPC Annette’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,596) in Salinas, Calif. The original plant from which the new mutation variety originated is the variety known as ‘CFPC Annette’. The new variety ‘CFPC Mele’ has been asexually reproduced by vegetative side shoot cuttings in Salinas, Calif. and the distinguishing characteristics are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
‘CFPC Mele’ is a potted spray-type carnation plant variety having a compact form of plant with well presented yellow flowers.
Comparison With Original Variety ‘CFPC Annette’
Plants of the new carnation variety ‘CFPC Mele’ are similar to the original variety ‘CFPC Annette’ in plant habit and growth rate. Under similar growing conditions in Salinas, Calif., under commercial practice, plants of the new carnation variety ‘CFPC Mele’ differed from plants of the original variety ‘CFPC Annette’ in the following characteristic:
    • 1. The new variety ‘CFPC Mele’ produces light yellow flowers whereas the original variety ‘CFPC Annette’ produces light pink flowers.
Comparison With Other Similar Varieties
Plants of the new carnation variety ‘CFPC Mele’ are similar to plants of the variety ‘CFPC Yellow Lacy’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,830) in plant habitat and growth rate. Under similar growing conditions, however, in Salinas, Calif., under commercial practice, plants of the new carnation variety ‘CFPC Mele’ differed from plants of ‘CFPC Yellow Lacy’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. The new variety ‘CFPC Mele’ produces light yellow flowers whereas the variety ‘CFPC Yellow Lacy’ produces darker yellow flowers with picotee faint pink.
    • 2. The new variety ‘CFPC Mele’ produces plants that are slightly taller than plants of the variety ‘CFPC Yellow Lacy’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
Typical specimens of the plant and flowers for the new carnation variety ‘CFPC Mele’ are shown in the accompanying photograph. The colors shown are as true as possible within the usual limits of this kind of illustration.
FIG. 1 is a whole plant view of the new variety ‘CFPC Mele’ grown in a pot. The plant shown in the illustration is 120 days from date of planting.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following description of the new carnation variety ‘CFPC Mele’ is of plants 139 days from a planting date of Dec. 6, 2009 grown in a commercial greenhouse in Salinas, Calif. The cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in the environment such as temperature, length of day and light intensity without any variance in genotype.
Plants of the new variety have been grown successfully under temperature conditions averaging about 18° C. at night and about 24° C. to 28° C. during the day under light conditions of about 14 hours. Plants are daylight neutral and flower throughout the year. Chemical growth regulators are not required for production. The new variety may be produced as a potted spray-type carnation. To produce a commercial product the plants may be pinched once with the center bud removed. Pinched plants are about 6 inches tall and about 6 inches in diameter. Flower diameter averages about 2 inches with a crown of about 1 inch. Foliage is generally about 3½ inches long and about ⅜ inches at the widest point. The typical container size for commercial growth is 4½ inches.
It has been observed that the shelf life of the new variety is about 21 days with a time to first bud opening of about 15-16 weeks. The commercial classification of the new carnation variety is a potted spray-type. The plant hardiness zone has not been determined.
The following description is with respect to a plant produced as a potted spray-type carnation. The plant and flower measurements and foliage size are established as an average using standard commercial cultural practices. In the description of this new carnation variety, color values have been taken from The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.C.C.).
