Abstract
A new variety of hybrid azalea particularly characterized by its variegated White and Camellia Rose flowers, portions of which have Tyrian Purple blotches extending from the flower throat to provide rich, bright and very attractive blossoms, and by its prolific branching tendencies and floriferous habit which makes it especially suitable for greenhouse forcing.
Description
This new variety of azalea plant was discovered by me in September 1971 as a sport of the variety Dogwood (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,093) grown in greenhouse at San Fernando, Calif., and the extraordinary variegated coloration of its flowers caused me to then and there proceed to reproduce this sport by means of cuttings. Subsequent propagation of this new plant through many successive generations, by means of cuttings, has demonstrated that it has other valuable characteristics all of which hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. This variety is now being propagated on a commercial scale in Oregon, as well as at San Fernando, Calif., and marketing of this plant has been carried on since November 1977.
My new azalea variety is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawings, the first sheet showing a potted plant in full bloom, and the second sheet being a print showing face views of typical specimens of the flowers, the second sheet of drawings having been hand-painted to show the true flower colors.
The following is a detailed description of my new variety of azalea plant with color designations according to the Robert F. Wilson Horticultural Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England, in collaboration with The British Colour Council.
