Abstract

A miniature carnation having blossoms with white petals having pale lilac stripes and blotches.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This invention comprises a new and distinct miniature carnation variety that has its own set of characteristics that set it apart from all other varieties of miniature carnations. The newly discovered variety, called "Parfait," originated as a sport of Lilac, an unpatented variety.
The botanical classification of the new variety is Dianthus caryophyllus longicaulis. The commercial classification is Miniature Carnation. The plant takes the form of a bush.
Asexual propagation of the newly discovered miniature carnation variety has been made at Siri Brothers Nursery, Inc. at East Palo Alto, Calif. by taking cuttings. The cuttings so taken and grown, have consistently produced flowers that have the new and distinct characteristics hereinafter described.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
This new variety of miniature carnation plant is illustrated by the accompanying drawings which show the color characteristics of the flower as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to obtain through conventional photographic procedures.
FIG. 1 shows the bloom of the new variety Parfait.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following detailed description of the new variety is based on my detailed observations of the new cultivar which were made at Siri Brothers Nursery Inc. at 940 O'Connor St., East Palo Alto, Calif. The response time, blooming period, total vigor, and color may vary slightly with varying environmental conditions such as temperature, length of day, and light intensity. The color description is given by designation "H" for hue and "L" for lightness in color chart references designated "LCC" for Limit Color Cascade, Munsell Color, Baltimore Md. and "R.H.S." for Royal Horticultural Colour Chart, The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England.

However there are some Lilac stripes and blotches that run in the petal but do not touch the base or the outer edge. The lilac color and the white color are random on the petal. There are even some petals that are completely white or completely lilac. There is no exact set pattern although there is a consistent one. Occasionally, a very small fleck of dark purple LCC H-43 L-14 appears on a petal.

Length.--Approximately 3/8 of an inch.
Width.--Approximately 3/16 of an inch.
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN THE NEW VARIETY AND PARENT
The primary distinguishing characteristic of the two varieties is the color. Lilac is a solid Lilac color and Parfait is a varigation of White and Lilac. The color of the anthers in a Lilac bloom is LCC H-48 L-2 while the color of the anthers in a Parfait bloom are LCC H-44 L-1. The color of the tip of the styles in both Lilac and Parfait are the same (LCC H-43 L-13). However, there is much more of a concentration of that color on the styles of Lilac than on the styles of Parfait.
SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NEW VARIETY AND PARENT
All of the characteristics of both varieties are similar except for the distinguishing characteristics referred to above.
