Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Chrysanthemum plant. The new plant is characterized by its flat capitulum form, anemone capitulum type, white to pale pink ray floret color, white disc floret color graduating to a dark purple eye, a diameter across face of capitulum of 3.0-4.0 cm, upright to spreading branching pattern with ca. 4-5 breaks after a single pinch, flowering response of ca. 56 days from the start of short days, and plant height for 6.5 in (16.5 cm) pot of 45-52 cm with 1-2 applications of B-9 at 2500 ppm.
Description
1. The Field of the Invention
This invention relates to Chrysanthemum plants. More particularly, the present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Dendranthema grandiflora and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Vibrant Eyes.`
2. Background of the New Plant
Vibrant Eyes, identified as 87.2806 was originated from a cross made by Jack Van Der Knaap in a controlled breeding program at De Lier, Holland in 1986.
The female parent of Vibrant Eyes was Runaway (non-patented in the United States), and the male parent was an unnamed selection #85.2006.
Vibrant Eyes was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by Jack Van Der Knaap in September of 1987 in a controlled environment at De Lier, Holland.
The first asexual reproduction of Vibrant Eyes was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken in November of 1987 in a controlled environment at De Lier, Holland by technicians working under the direction and supervision of Jack Van Der Knaap.
The basic characteristics which have been repeatedly observed in Vibrant Eyes and which, in combination, distinguish this Chrysanthemum plant over related known varieties and its antecedents are:
1. Flat capitulum form.
2. Anemone capitulum type.
3. White to pale pink ray floret color.
4. Disc floret color, white graduating to a dark purple eye.
5. Diameter across face of capitulum, 3.0-4.0 cm.
6. Branching pattern is upright to spreading with ca. 4-5 breaks after a single pinch.
7. Flowering response is ca. 56 days from the start of short days.
8. Plant height of 6.5 in. (16.5 cm) pot is 45-52 cm with 1-2 applications of B-9 at 2500 ppm.
Horticultural examination of controlled flowerings of successive plantings has shown that the combination of characteristics and distinctions as herein disclosed for Vibrant Eyes are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
FIG. 1 is a photographic print in full color showing typical inflorescence and leaf characteristics of Vibrant Eyes grown as a pinched spray pot mum with 5 cuttings in a 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) pot, the colors being depicted as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color photograph of this character.
Vibrant Eyes has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length.
The following is a detailed description of Vibrant Eyes, with color terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are obvious. The following observations, measurements and comparisons were made of plants grown at Nipomo, Calif. in controlled environments. Unrooted cuttings were directly stuck into 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) pots and grown in a controlled environment under the natural temperature and day length prevailing during October to December of 1990.
Classification:
Botanical.--Dendranthema grandiflora cv. Vibrant Eyes.
Commercial.--Flat anemone to be grown as a spray pot.
A. Capitulum:
Form.--Flat fresh, puffy and rounded when old.
Type.--Anemone.
Diameter across face.--3-4 cm when fully opened.
B. Corolla of ray florets:
Color (general tonality from a distance of three meters).--White to light pink graduating to a dark purple eye.
Color.--Front: 155 A. Back: 155 B.
Shape.--Oval with a rounded tip.
C. Corrola of disc florets:
Color.--155 A tube with 53 C tips.
D. Reproductive organs:
Androecium.--Present on disc florets only; insignificant.
Gynoecium.--Present on both ray and disc florets; insignificant.
A. General Appearance:
Height.--When grown in 6.5 in. (16.5 cm) pots with 1-2 applications of B-9, the total plant height including the pot will be ca. 45-52 cm.
Branching pattern.--Upright to spreading with 4-5 breaks after the pinch.
B. Foliage:
Color (upper surface).--147 A.
Color (lower surface).--147 B.
Shape.--See FIG. 1. Up to 5.0 cm long. Up to 3.0 cm wide.
Vibrant eyes can be well distinguished from other commercial chrysanthemum cultivars, including Autumn Eyes (U.S. plant patent application Ser. No. 712,334, filed Jun. 7, 1991), Dark Eyes (U.S. plant patent application Ser. No. 712,903, filed Jun. 7, 1991), Definite Eyes (U.S. plant patent application Ser. No. 712,086, filed Jun. 7, 1991), Quiet Eyes (U.S. plant patent application Ser. No. 712,052, filed Jun. 7, 1991), and Tara (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,313). See in this regard the data presented in Table A hereafter. Also, the blossom coloration of Vibrant Eyes can be readily distinguished from Penny Lane (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,238), and Tree Lane (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,304) as described in the respective U.S. Plant Patents. Also, the foliage of Vibrant Eyes is smaller and its response time is eight weeks instead of nine weeks.
Similar traits to the other above-mentioned Eye varieties are capitulum form and type (with the exception of Quiet Eyes which is a flat daisy type), branching pattern, and the distinctly contrasting center of the disc. However, each Eye variety varies in color of the disc and ray florets, making each a unique and different cultivar.
Similar traits to Tara are capitulum form and type. Vibrant Eyes generally has one more break per pinch and generally has more disc and ray florets per flower. The ray florets of Vibrant Eyes are shorter by an average of 1.3 cm. Vibrant Eyes will flower at about the same time as Tara, and has fewer flowers per break than Tara. The coloration of the petals is very different between Tara and Vibrant Eyes.
