Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘BKPBEWFBC’, characterized by its compact, uniform, upright to outwardly spreading and semi-trailing plant habit; freely branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; and single-type female and male flowers that are pinkish red and white bi-colored.

Description

Botanical designation: Begonia boliviensis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘BKPBEWFBC’.
STATEMENT REGARDING PRIOR DISCLOSURES BY THE INVENTOR & APPLICANT/ASSIGNEE
An European Community Plant Breeder's Rights application for the instant plant was filed by the Applicant/Assignee, Beekenkamp Plants B.V. of Maasdijk, The Netherlands on May 21, 2021, application number 2021/1333. Foreign priority is not claimed to this application.
The Inventor and Applicant/Assignee assert that no publications nor advertisements relating to sales, offers for sale or public distribution occurred more than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application. Any information about the claimed plant would have been obtained from a direct or indirect disclosure from the Inventor and/or the Applicant/Assignee. Inventor and Applicant/Assignee claim a prior art exception under 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1) for disclosure and/or sales prior to the filing date but less than one year prior to the effective filing date.
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 ‘BKPBEWFBC’.
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 is to create new uniform and freely branching Begonia plants with numerous attractive flowers and good garden performance.
The new Begonia plant originated from a cross-pollination in March, 2016 of a proprietary selection of Begonia boliviensis identified as code number H11-079-05, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Begonia boliviensis identified as code number 15-0000-05, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Begonia plant was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Maasdijk, The Netherlands in September, 2016.
Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Maasdijk, The Netherlands, since December, 2016 has shown that the unique features of this new Begonia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
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 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 ‘BKPBEWFBC’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘BKPBEWFBC’ as a new and distinct Begonia plant:
    • 1. Compact, uniform, upright to outwardly spreading and semi-trailing plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Single-type female and male flowers that are pinkish red and white bi-colored.
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 are more upright than and not as trailing as plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Flower tepals of plants of the new Begonia are pinkish red and white bi-colored whereas flower tepals of plants of the female parent selection are salmon and white bi-colored.
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 are more upright than and not as trailing as plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Flower tepals of plants of the new Begonia are pinkish red and white bi-colored whereas flower tepals of plants of the male parent selection are salmon and white bi-colored.
Plants of the new Begonia can be compared to plants of the Begonia boliviensis ‘BKPBEWFER’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,959. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Begonia differ from plants of ‘BKPBEWFER’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Begonia are more compact than and not as trailing as plants of ‘BKPBEWFER’.
    • 2. Flower tepals of plants of the new Begonia are pinkish red and white bi-colored whereas flower tepals of plants of ‘BKPBEWFER’ are bright red 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 (FIG. 1) is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘BKPBEWFBC’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2) are close-up views of the upper and lower surfaces of typical leaves and developing and developed flowers of ‘BKPBEWFBC’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
