Abstract
This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of regal Pelargonium (Pelargonium×domesticum) named Flair substantially as illustrated and described herein, particularly characterized as being compact and self-branching, early flowering and floriferous, and having flowers which are light orange-red in color with red-purple feathering primarily on the upper petals.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of regal Pelargonium (Pelargonium×domesticum) named Flair. This cultivar is characterized as being compact and self-branching (without pinching), early flowering and floriferous. The flowers are light orange-red with red-purple feathering primarily on the upper petals.
The cultivar was developed from an organized, scientifically designed breeding program conducted at the Department of Horticulture, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa. 16802. The objective was to produce a new regal Pelargonium genotype with excellent propagation characteristics, compact growth habit, predictable and consistent flowering response, and acceptable postharvest quality. The pedigree of this cultivar is as follows: ##STR1##
`Flair` has three cultivars in its ancestry: `Grand Slam`, `Grossmama Fischer` and `Virginia`. Flower color genes were derived from Grand Slam which is brick red and `Grossmama Fischer` which has a strong orange salmon flower color. Neither of these cultivars flower well under warm temperature conditions. Flowering ability, earliness and heat tolerance of `Flair` are similar to but not the same as that of `Virginia`. The selection was asexually propagated by cuttings and the reproductions ran true.
FIG. 1 illustrates in color the cultivar including foliage and flowers.
FIG. 2 illustrates in color primarily the floret.
With reference to the detailed description of the cultivar which follows, the test plant was potted in soilless medium and grown in a glasshouse under natural sunlight, at a night temperature of approximately 58° F. and a day temperature of approximately 68° F. Fertilizer was applied in every watering, with 200 ppm nitrogen provided in the forms of 15-16-17 (two consecutive waterings) and 20-0-20 (every third watering) in a repeating cycle.
Color readings were taken under incandescent light at approximately 200 foot candles and color identification was by reference to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Charts, except where common terms of color definition are employed.
