Abstract
A new and distinctive variety of geranium plant particularly distinguished by its profuse production of very large florets of a completely new crimson-pink coloration, about sixty of these florets together forming a very unusual cluster which is carried on an upright stem about 18 cm. in length extending from a strong stalk of about 8 to 9 cm. in length. This new geranium variety is further distinguished by its floriferous growth habit and its abundant production of light green foliage comprising medium sized, kidney-shaped leaves and standing about eight to ten inches above the soil, the total height of the plant being about 28 cm.
Description
This new geranium cultivar originated as a seedling of a hybrid product by my crossing the variety `PAC Isabell` (unpatented) with the pollen of the variety `PAC 532` (unpatented), both selected from my geranium collection maintained for breeding purposes at my nursery at Stuttgart, West Germany. This new plant bloomed for the first time in 1986 and was propagated by me and under my direction, by means of cuttings, with very satisfactory results, wherefore propagation was continued through several successive generations by cuttings, whereby it was determined that the novel and distinctive characteristics of this new plant would hold true from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed.
My new geranium cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing, which shows a fully developed potted plant with flowers in several stages of blooming, as well as bud clusters in several stages of development and the nature of the foliage, the color shown being as nearly true to that herein specified as is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
