Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘Bkpbeeas’, characterized by its broadly upright to outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; sturdy plants with freely basal branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; uniform and freely flowering habit; and double flowers that are orange red in color.
Description
Botanical designation: Begonia×hiemalis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘BKPBEEAS’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant, botanically known as Begonia×hiemalis, commercially referred to as Elatior Begonia and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Bkpbeeas’.
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 freely branching and freely flowering Begonia plants with attractive flowers.
The new Begonia plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Begonia×hiemalis ‘Dark Britt’, not patented. The new Begonia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of ‘Dark Britt’ in a controlled greenhouse environment in Maasdijk, The Netherlands in April, 2012.
Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia plant by vegetative tip cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Maasdijk, The Netherlands since January, 2013 has shown that the unique features of this new Begonia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Begonia 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 ‘Bkpbeeas’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bkpbeeas’ as a new and distinct Begonia plant:
-
- 1. Broadly upright to outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Sturdy plants with freely basal branching habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Uniform and freely flowering habit.
- 5. Double flowers that are orange red in color.
Plants of the new Begonia can be compared to plants of the mutation parent, ‘Dark Britt’. Plants of the new Begonia differ primarily from plants of ‘Dark Britt’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Begonia are more compact than plants of ‘Dark Britt’.
- 2. Plants of the new Begonia and ‘Dark Britt’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Dark Britt’ have bright orange-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Begonia can be compared to plants of Begonia×hiemalis ‘Reina’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,336. Plants of the new Begonia differ primarily from plants of ‘Reina’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Begonia are more compact than plants of ‘Reina’.
- 2. Plants of the new Begonia and ‘Reina’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Reina’ have dark orange-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Begonia can also be compared to plants of Begonia×hiemalis ‘Batik’, not patented. Plants of the new Begonia differ primarily from plants of ‘Batik’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Flowers of plants of the new Begonia are double in form whereas flowers of plants of ‘Batik’ are semi-double in form.
- 2. Plants of the new Begonia and ‘Batik’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Batik’ have bright orange-colored flowers.
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 ‘Bkpbeeas’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet are close-up views of upper and lower surfaces of typical developed flowers and leaves of ‘Bkpbeeas’.
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements were grown during the autumn in 12-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Maasdijk, The Netherlands. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures ranged from 19° to 21° C. Plants were twelve 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, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
