Abstract
A new cultivar of Magnolia plant named ‘Tinkerbelle’ that is characterized by upright cup shaped flowers having red-purple tepals, slender upright oriented branches, terminal flowers that are normally solitary and flowers that maintain their color during the flowering season.
Description
Botanical classification: Magnolia soulangeana.
Variety denomination: ‘Tinkerbelle’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Magnolia plant botanically known as Magnolia soulangeana and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Tinkerbelle’.
The new cultivar is the product of a breeding program conducted by the inventor in a cultivated area of Waitara, New Zealand. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new Magnolia cultivars that have attractive flower colors.
‘Tinkerbelle’ originated from crossing the female or seed parent Magnolia soulangeana ‘Sweet Simplicity’ (not patented) and the male or pollen parent Magnolia soulangeana ‘Cameo’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,222). The crossing was conducted in 2002 in a controlled environment. The cultivar ‘Tinkerbelle’ was selected by the inventor in 2009 as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a cultivated area of Waitara, New Zealand.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Tinkerbelle’ by budding was first performed in 2009 in Waitara, New Zealand. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Magnolia cultivar ‘Tinkerbelle’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘Tinkerbelle’ as a new and distinct cultivar.
-
- 1. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits upright cup shaped flowers having red-purple tepals.
- 2. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits slender upright oriented branches.
- 3. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits terminal flowers that are normally solitary.
- 4. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits flowers that maintain their color during the flowering season.
The closest comparison varieties are Magnolia ‘Genie’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,748) and the male parent plant Magnolia ‘Cameo’. ‘Tinkerbelle’ is different than ‘Genie’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits upright cup shaped flowers having red-purple tepals. In contrast, the flowers of ‘Genie’ are less cup shaped and more spreading.
- 2. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits slender upright oriented branches. In contrast, the branches of ‘Genie’ are less upright and are oriented at larger angles from vertical.
- 3. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits terminal flowers that are normally solitary. In contrast, ‘Genie’ exhibits terminal flowering with secondary and tertiary flowers.
‘Tinkerbelle’ is different than ‘Cameo’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits upright cup shaped flowers having red-purple tepals.
In contrast, the flowers of ‘Cameo’ are less cup shaped and more spreading.
-
- 2. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits slender upright oriented branches. In contrast, the branches of ‘Cameo’ are thicker and are oriented at larger angles from vertical.
- 3. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits terminal flowers that are normally solitary. In contrast, ‘Cameo’ exhibits terminal flowering with secondary flowers.
‘Tinkerbelle’ is different than the female parent plant ‘Sweet Simplicity’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits upright cup shaped flowers having red-purple tepals. In contrast, the flowers of ‘Sweet Simplicity’ are less cup shaped and more spreading.
- 2. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits slender upright oriented branches. In contrast, the branches of ‘Sweet Simplicity’ are thicker and are oriented at larger angles from vertical.
- 3. Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’ exhibits terminal flowers that are normally solitary. In contrast, ‘Sweet Simplicity’ exhibits terminal flowering with secondary flowers.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the distinguishing traits of Magnolia ‘Tinkerbelle’.
The photograph on sheet 1 shows an overall view of a 4 year old plant.
The photograph on sheet 2 shows a view of the foliage.
The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
The following is a detailed description of the new Magnolia cultivar named ‘Tinkerbelle’. Data was collected in Waitara, New Zealand from 4 year old field grown plants. The time of year was Spring and the average temperature was 14° Centigrade during the day and 8° Centigrade at night. Color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2001 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species. ‘Tinkerbelle’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
