Definitions
- the present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Streptocarpus x hybridus known by the varietal name Greta, formerly named Helle Glocke.
- the new cultivar is an irradiated sport of Nadia whereas Nadia is a cross between the seed parent Wiesmoor Blue and the pollen parent Constant Nymph.
- the new cultivar is basically the same color as Nadia and has the same shape of bloom. However, the new cultivar has more blooms per plant and the blooms last substantially longer than for Nadia.
- the new cultivar was discovered in 1975 in Vaihingen, Federal Republic of Germany; was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Vaihingen, Federal Republic of Germany; and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Floral Company in Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
- the new cultivar when grown in a greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., has a response time of eight weeks from a plantlet (a well rooted young plant in a five centimeter pot) to a flowering plant in a ten centimeter pot.
- Botanical classification Gesneriaceae (family); Streptocarpus x hybridus (genus x species).
- Size approximately 20 centimeters in length and 5 to 10 centimeters in width at widest point.

Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Streptocarpus x hybridus known by the varietal name Greta, formerly named Helle Glocke. The new cultivar is an irradiated sport of Nadia whereas Nadia is a cross between the seed parent Wiesmoor Blue and the pollen parent Constant Nymph.
The new cultivar is basically the same color as Nadia and has the same shape of bloom. However, the new cultivar has more blooms per plant and the blooms last substantially longer than for Nadia.
The new cultivar was discovered in 1975 in Vaihingen, Federal Republic of Germany; was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Vaihingen, Federal Republic of Germany; and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Floral Company in Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The new cultivar, when grown in a greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., has a response time of eight weeks from a plantlet (a well rooted young plant in a five centimeter pot) to a flowering plant in a ten centimeter pot.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the new cultivar, the color being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out by the Oglevee Floral Company in Connellsville, Pa. The plant history was taken on eight week plants blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and color readings were taken indoors under 100 foot candles of cool white fluorescent light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. color chart of the Royal Horticultural Society of London. Some color reference is to Exotica III and such reference is duly noted.
