Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘BKPBEBVLM’, characterized by its upright to somewhat outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; freely basal branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; and single pale yellow-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Begonia boliviensis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘BKPBEBVLM’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant, botanically known as Begonia boliviensis and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘BKPBEBVLM’.
The new Begonia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Maasdijk, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new compact and freely branching and freely flowering Begonia plants with attractive flower colors.
The new Begonia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in September, 2010 of a proprietary selection of Begonia boliviensis identified as code number 10-001-25, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Begonia boliviensis identified as code number 10-000-25, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Begonia 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 greenhouse environment in Maasdijk, The Netherlands in May, 2011.
Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia plant by tip cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Maasdijk, The Netherlands since June, 2011 has shown that the unique features of this new Begonia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Begonia 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 ‘BKPBEBVLM’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘BKPBEBVLM’ as a new and distinct Begonia plant:
    • 1. Upright to somewhat outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely basal branching habit.
    • 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Single pale yellow-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Begonia can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Begonia differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Begonia have single flowers whereas plants of the female parent selection have double flowers.
    • 2. Flower tepals of plants of the new Begonia are pale yellow in color whereas flower tepals of plants of the female parent selection are white in color.
    • 3. Plants of the new Begonia have shorter peduncles than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Begonia can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Begonia differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Begonia have lighter-colored leaves than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Begonia are more freely flowering than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Flower tepals of plants of the new Begonia are pale yellow in color whereas flower tepals of plants of the male parent selection are yellow in color.
Plants of the new Begonia can be compared to plants of the Begonia boliviensis ‘Crackling Fire Yellow’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Maasdijk, The Netherlands, plants of the new Begonia differed from plants of ‘Crackling Fire Yellow’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Begonia had lighter-colored leaves than plants of ‘Crackling Fire Yellow’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Begonia were more freely flowering than plants of ‘Crackling Fire Yellow’.
    • 3. Flower tepals of plants of the new Begonia were pale yellow in color whereas flower tepals of plants of ‘Crackling Fire Yellow’ were yellow in color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Begonia 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 Begonia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘BKPBEBVLM’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet are close up views of typical flowers and leaves of ‘BKPBEBVLM’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTIONS
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and the following observations and measurements were grown in 12-cm containers during the winter in a glass-covered greenhouse in Maasdijk, The Netherlands. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 19° to 20° C., night temperatures ranged from 18° to 19° C. and light levels averaged 6,000 lux. Plants were eight weeks old when the photographs and the 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.
