Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Aster plant named `Painted Lady`, characterized by its cupped capitulum form and daisy capitulum type, very light purple ray floret color, light yellow green disc florets, capitulum diameter of 33-35 mm, strong, well branched flower stems, and its numerous flowers borne on short pedicels.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Aster L. hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Painted Lady`.
`Painted Lady` is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new perennial Aster cultivars for year-round commercial production having well branched flower stems, large flower (capitulum) size, good flower (capitulum) form and shape, and having superior vase-life lasting quality of the cut flowers. Such traits in combination were not present or needed improvement in previously available commercial cultivars.
`Painted Lady` was originated from a hybridization made by the inventor P. Akerboom in a controlled breeding program in Ter Aar, The Netherlands, in 1987. The female parent of `Painted Lady` was an unnamed Aster novi-belgii seedling. The male parent was an unnamed Aster novi-belgii seedling.
`Painted Lady` was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated parentage by the inventor P. Akerboom on Sep. 10, 1987 in a controlled environment in Ter Aar and identified as seedling No. 87.M.K.B.R.3.G.
The first act of asexual reproduction of `Painted Lady` was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in November 1987 in a controlled environment in Ter Aar by a technician working under formulations established and supervised by P. Akerboom.
Horticultural examination of selected units initiated in 1988 and 1989 has demonstrated that the unique combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for `Painted Lady` are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
`Painted Lady` has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly under different environmental conditions of temperature, light intensity and daylength, without, however, any variance in the genotype.
The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Ter Aar, The Netherlands, under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial greenhouse practice in this country. The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of `Painted Lady`, which, in combination, distinguish this Aster as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Cupped capitulum form.
2. Daisy capitulum type.
3. Very light purple ray floret color.
4. Diameter across face of capitulum of 33 to 35 mm at maturity.
5. Strong, well branched flower stems.
6. Many capitula per synflorescence, borne on short pedicels.
The accompanying color photographic drawings show typical synflorescence of `Painted Lady`, with the colors being as nearly true as possible with illustrations of this type.
The top photograph is a perspective view of `Painted Lady` grown as a single stem cut spray Aster.
The bottom photograph illustrates in top plan view several flowers of `Painted Lady`.
Of the commercial cultivars known to the inventor, the most similar to `Painted Lady` is the variety `Pink Butterfly`, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,401. Reference is made to attached Chart A, which compares certain characteristics of `Painted Lady` to the same characteristics of `Pink Butterfly`.
In comparison to `Pink Butterfly`, `Painted Lady` has more vigorous growth, thicker and courser flower stems, smaller leaves, larger flowers (capitula), a very light purple flower color compared to the soft red-purple or pink flower color of `Pink Butterfly` and more numerous ray florets. Similar traits are capitulum form and type, spray formation, photoperiodic light reaction, and equally long lasting vase-lifes.
When compared to the male parent's flower and flower stem characteristics, `Painted Lady` is much easier to handle during harvesting. Novi-belgii cultivars typically are brittle and have easy breaking flower heads and branching stems. `Painted Lady` is absolutely free of these drawbacks.
In the following description color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. The color values were determined between 12:00 and 14:00 hours on Jun. 20, 1989 at Ter Aar, The Netherlands.
