Abstract
An African violet plant named New Orleans having upright flower stems, large frilled flowers lilac in color, with a more intense dark lilac on the frilled margins, vigorous growth habit with early flowering, attractive girl type leaves, and non-dropping and long lasting flowers.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of African violet plant, botanically known as Saintpaulia ionantha, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name New Orleans.
The new cultivar was referred to during the breeding and selection process by the designation G 9/IX girl, and is a product of a planned breeding program.
The new cultivar was originated from a cross made in a controlled breeding program in Isselburg, West Germany. The female, or seed parent was a cultivar designated d 150/2 red girl. The male, or pollen parent was a cultivar designated d 134/11 lilac frill.
The new cultivar New Orleans was discovered and selected by me as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Isselburg, West Germany. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by leaf cuttings and by division of shoots, as performed by me at Isselburg, West Germany, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
New Orleans has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length. The following observations, measurements and values describe the new cultivar as grown in Isselburg, West Germany, under greenhouse conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of New Orleans, which in combination distinguish this African violet as a new and distinct cultivar:
(1) Upright flower stems, 7-10 in number.
(2) Lilac frilled flowers, 6-10 per stem.
(3) The upper petals and flowers margins are intense dark lilac in color.
(4) Vigorous growth habit with early flowering.
(5) Large flowers.
(6) Attractive girl type leaves.
(7) Non-dropping, long lasting flowers.
New Orleans is very unique with regard to its overall characteristics, but is similar in flower color to Massachusetts, disclosed in my previously issued U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,773.
The accompanying photographic drawing shows a typical specimen plant of the new cultivar. The colors appearing in the photograph are as true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
In the following description, color references are made to The Horticultural Colour Chart (HCC) issued by Wilson Colour Ltd., except where general colors of ordinary significance are referred to. Color values were taken under natural light conditions approximately mid-day in Nashville, Tenn.
