Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant named ‘Karma Amora’, characterized by its upright plant habit; high production of flowering stems; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; decorative-type inflorescence form; large inflorescences with red-colored ray florets that resist fading; and good postproduction longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Dahlia hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘KARMA AMORA’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant, botanically known as Dahlia hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Karma Amora’.
The new Dahlia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Lisse, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new cut flower Dahlia plants with strong flowering stems, large inflorescences and good postproduction longevity.
The new Dahlia plant originated from a cross-pollination during the summer of 2005 of Dahlia hybrida ‘Garden Miracle’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Dahlia hybrida ‘GH Lammerse’, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Dahlia 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 Lisse, The Netherlands in 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Dahlia plant by cuttings since the spring of 2008 in a controlled greenhouse environment in Lisse, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Dahlia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Dahlia have not been observed under all possible combinations of 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 ‘Karma Amora’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Karma Amora’ as a new and distinct Dahlia plant:
-
- 1. Upright plant habit.
- 2. High production of flowering stems.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Freely flowering habit.
- 5. Decorative-type inflorescence form.
- 6. Large inflorescences with red-colored ray florets that resist fading.
- 7. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Dahlia differ primarily from plants of the female parent, ‘Garden Miracle’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Dahlia are taller than plants of ‘Garden Miracle’.
- 2. Plants of the new Dahlia are more freely branching and produce more flowering stems than plants of ‘Garden Miracle’.
- 3. Plant of the new Dahlia and ‘Garden Miracle’ differ in leaf color as plants of ‘Garden Miracle’ have bronze-colored leaves.
- 4. Inflorescences of plants of the new Dahlia are longer-lasting than inflorescences of plants of ‘Garden Miracle’.
Plants of the new Dahlia differ primarily from plants of the male parent, ‘GH Lammerse’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Dahlia and ‘GH Lammerse’ differ in ray floret color as plants of ‘GH Lammerse’ have purple-colored ray florets.
- 2. Inflorescences of plants of the new Dahlia are longer-lasting than inflorescences of plants of ‘GH Lammerse’.
Plants of the new Dahlia can be compared to plants of the Dahlia hybrida ‘Karma Royal Sea’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,440. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lisse, The Netherlands, plants of the new Dahlia differed from plants of ‘Karma Royal Sea’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Dahlia were more freely branching and produced more flowering stems than plants of ‘Karma Royal Sea’.
- 2. Plants of the new Dahlia flowered earlier than plants of ‘Karma Royal Sea’.
- 3. Plants of the new Dahlia and ‘Karma Royal Sea’ differed in ray color as plants of ‘Karma Royal Sea’ had deep red-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Dahlia can be compared to plants of the Dahlia hybrida ‘Karma Thalia’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,406. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lisse, The Netherlands, plants of the new Dahlia differed from plants of ‘Karma Thalia’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Dahlia were more freely branching and produced more flowering stems than plants of ‘Karma Thalia’.
- 2. Plants of the new Dahlia and ‘Karma Thalia’ differed in ray color as plants of ‘Karma Thalia’ had red purple-colored ray florets.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Dahlia 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 Dahlia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering stems of ‘Karma Amora’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Karma Amora’.
The photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the late summer and early autumn in ground beds in an outdoor nursery in Lisse, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Dahlia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 12° C. to 29° C. and night temperatures ranged from 6° C. to 19° C. Plants were pinched one time about three weeks after planting. Plants were three months old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
