Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia×hiemalis known by the varietal name Paloma. The new cultivar is a mutation of the Begonia hiemalis Rosalie. The new cultivar Paloma differs from Rosalie in respect of its bloom color. The cultivar Paloma has a tonality from a distance of white whereas the cultivar Rosalie has a tonality from a distance of peach to light orange.
The new cultivar was discovered in April, 1983 at Limaplant b.v. in Lisse, Holland; was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at Limaplant b.v. in Lisse, Holland; and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings for Oglevee Associates, Inc. in Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The new cultivar is generally characterized by its long lasting, highly floriferous white bloom, short and compact plant form, vigorous growth and smooth texture. The new cultivar has a high tolerance to botrytis and powdery mildew.
The new cultivar, when grown in a greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., has a response time of nine to ten weeks from a well-rooted cutting to a flowering finished plant in a six inch pot (no pinch).
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying drawing illustrates a new cultivar, the color being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out for Oglevee Associates, Inc. in Connellsville, Pa. The plant history was taken on ten week plants blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and grown under temperature conditions of 62° F. at night and 68° F. during the day. The plants were potted in a peat-lite mix and fertilized with a 100 ppm mixture of 15N-0P-15K. Color readings were taken indoors under 200 footcandles of cool white fluorescent tubes. Color references are to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London, unless noted differently.
