Abstract

A new and distinct Freesia cultivar distinguished by its very tall stems bearing a single red flower at its upper end and immediately preceeding a jointed rachis which extends almost at right angles to the stem and has from six to nine longitudinally spaced buds of which several may be open at the same time, the flowers being of medium size and blooming successively on strong spikes with substantially uniform spacing along the rachis to its end.

Description

This particular seedling was selected because of its medium red flowers and numerous buds, the height of the main stem and its apparent growth habits that meet my breeding objectives.
This new Freesia is not being produced and grown at Aalsmeer from selected cormes and cormels of the parent plant and its clones with very satisfactory results.
