Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘TMBG1307’, characterized by its upright to spreading and mounded plant habit; dark green to dark greyed green-colored leaves; freely and continuously flowering habit; strongly fragrant flowers; and large ruffled double-type flowers that are bright orange in color.

Description

Botanical designation: Begonia x tuberhybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘TMBG1307’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant, botanically known as Begonia x tuberhybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘TMBG1307’.
The new Begonia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Harkstead, Ipswich, United Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new trailing Begonia plants with fragrant flowers.
The new Begonia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in August, 2010 of a proprietary selection of Begonia x tuberhybrida identified as code number 260, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent and a proprietary selection of Begonia x tuberhybrida identified as code number 146, 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 Harkstead, Ipswich, United Kingdom in July, 2011.
Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia plant by shoot tip cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Harkstead, Ipswich, United Kingdom since August, 2012 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 combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘TMBG1307’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘TMBG1307’ as a new and distinct Begonia plant:
    • 1. Upright to spreading and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Dark green to dark greyed green-colored leaves.
    • 3. Freely and continuously flowering habit.
    • 4. Strongly fragrant flowers.
    • 5. Large ruffled double-type flowers that are bright orange in color.
Plants of the new Begonia can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Begonia differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Flowers of plants of the new Begonia are more outwardly facing than and not as upright as flowers of plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Begonia are more fragrant than flowers of plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Begonia are bright orange in color whereas flowers of plants of the female parent selection are deep salmon in color.
Plants of the new Begonia can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Begonia differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Leaves of plants of the new Begonia are darker in color than leaves of plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Begonia are smaller than flowers of plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Begonia are bright orange in color whereas flowers of plants of the male parent selection are red in color.
Plants of the new Begonia can also be compared to plants of the Begonia pendula ‘Victoria Falls’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,653. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Begonia differ from plants of ‘Victoria Falls’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Leaves of plants of the new Begonia are darker in color than leaves of plants of ‘Victoria Falls’.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Begonia are twice as large as flowers of plants of ‘Victoria Falls’.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Begonia are strongly fragrant whereas flowers of plants of ‘Victoria Falls’ are not fragrant.
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 ‘TMBG1307’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close up view of upper surfaces of a typical leaf, a typical flower bud, a typical developing flower and a typical fully developed flower of ‘TMBG1307’.
The photograph on the third sheet is a close up view of lower surfaces of a typical leaf, a typical flower bud, a typical developing flower and a typical fully developed flower of ‘TMBG1307’.
