Abstract

A new geranium cultivar particularly distinguished by the very large size of the individual florets, of which about sixty-five comprise the umbel-formed flower cluster which is distinctive of cultivated geranium varieties. The individual florets are further distinguished by their deep red coloration and the number of imbricated petals which form large, rather flat, solid red florets of about 5 cm. in diameter.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
My new geranium variety originated as a seedling of a hybrid resulting from my crossing of the variety `Palais` with the variety `Bruni` as the pollen parent, both being unpatented varieties, at my nursery at Stuttgart, West Germany, in 1985, this new plant having been selected from a group of seedlings of the said hybrid. The selection of this particular seedling was made because of the large size of the individual florets and their grouping to form large clusters of a brilliant red color. The selected plant was asexually reproduced by me and under my direction, by means of cuttings, through several successive generations at Stuttgart, which demonstrated that the distinguishing charcteristics of this new plant would hold true from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed. Propagation of this new plant is now being carried on by means of cuttings at my nursery at Stuttgart.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
My new geranium cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing, which illustrates the form and color of the individual florets, as well as buds in several stages of opening and an umbel-formed group of buds for forming a full cluster, the color rendition being as nearly true to that herein specified as is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
