Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of geranium named Fisam, particularly characterized by the combined features of large, light violet flowers, double flower form, very early flower response, medium green foliage with strong zonation, medium growth characteristics, and fast rooting ability.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium peltatum L'Hert, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Fisam.
Fisam is a product of planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new geranium cultivars with violet flower color, good cultivation ability, and possibly with other unique characteristics in order to provide a possible replacement for the well known commercial cultivar Amethyst.
Fisam was originated from a hybridization made by the inventor Ingeborg Schumann in a controlled breeding program in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain in 1985. The female parent was an unnamed hybrid, originated from crossing a hybrid resulting from a cross of Salmon Queen and Amethyst, with an inbred line of Rouletta. The male parent of Fisam was Bardo Lolli, characterized by large, dark rose semi-double flowers.
Fisam was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by Ingeborg Schumann in spring 1986 in a controlled environment in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain.
The first act of asexual reproduction of Fisam was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in February 1987 in a controlled environment in Hillschend, Federal Republic of Germany by, or under the supervision of, Ingeborg Schumann.
Horticultural examination of rooted cuttings initiated in May 1987 and continuing thereafter has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for Fisam are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Fisam has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length, without, however, any variance in the genotype. The following observations measurements, and comparisons describe plants grown in Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of Fisam, which in combination distinguish this geranium as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Large double flowers of light violet color, with purple markings on upper petals
2. Very early flower response
3. Rich flower production
4. Medium green foliage with strong zonation
5. Medium to strong growth
6. Good and fast rooting ability
7. Good branching characteristics
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to Fisam is Amethyst. Reference is made to attached Chart A which compares certain characteristics of Fisam to those same characteristics of Amethyst. In general comparison to Amethyst, Fisam has a lighter violet flower color, more regular shape of umbels, more vigorous growth, a much earlier flower response, and better rooting characteristics of the cuttings.
The accompanying color photographic drawing is a side elevational view showing typical flower and foliage characteristics of Fisam, with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type.
In the following description color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. The color values were determined indoors from flowers taken from plants grown outdoors in June at Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany.
