Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of anthurium plant named Pura Vida Lavender characterized by its lavender spathe color, pink spadix color, flowers which are held above the foliage to provide a uniform display, long lasting inflorescence, and its outwardly facing leaves which show the full leaf blade.

Description

The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Anthurium, botanically known as Anthurium hybrid, and referred to by the cultivar named Pura Vida Lavender.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding programs carried out by the inventor in Cartago, Costa Rica. The female parent was an unnamed Anthurium amnicola selection, and the male parent was an unnamed cultivar Anthurium andreanum characterized by its small leaves. The parents are proprietary cultivars used only in the breeding program.
The new cultivar was discovered from the progeny of the stated cross by the inventor in Cartago, Costa Rica, and given the number designation 196-1. Asexual propagation by division and micropropagated leaf cuttings first carried out by or under the supervision of the inventor in Cartago, Costa Rica, and later carried out in south central Florida and West Chicago, Ill., has demonstrated that the unique features of this new anthurium are stabilized and are reproduced true to type in successive propagations.
The following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in south central Florida in a polypropylene-covered shade house with day temperatures of 30° to 38° C. and night temperatures of 20° to 30° C. Measurements and values represent averages for six typical plants observed for evaluation purposes.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed to be characteristics which in combination distinguish the new cultivar from other Anthuriums of the same general type, for example, the unpatented but well known commercial cultivar Lady Jane to which comparative reference is made.
1. The spathe color of Pura Vida Lavender is lavender compared to the medium pink spathe color of Lady Jane.
2. The mature spadix color of the new cultivar is pink compared to the yellow-orange spadix color of Lady Jane.
3. The inflorescence is long lasting.
4. Larger flowers that are held above the foliage in a uniform and showy display.
5. The flowers of Pura Vida Lavender are flat and do not curve inwardly.
6. The leaves face outwardly showing the full leaf blade.
A detailed comparison of Pura Vida Lavender and Lady Jane appears in Chart A at the end of the specification. In general comparison, the spathe of the new cultivar is lavender in color, compared to the pinkish-red spathe color of Lady Jane. The mature spadix color of the new cultivar is pink or red-purple compared to the yellow-orange mature spadix color of Lady Jane.
All color references are to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.). Colors will vary somewhat depending on horticultural practices such as light level and fertilization rate, among others, without, however, any variation in genotype.
The color photographic drawing comprise a top perspective view showing the inflorescence and foliage of a typical specimen plant of the new cultivar.
The photograph is of a plant of the new cultivar grown in a 25.5 cm pot approximately 52 weeks after planting a tissue culture plug and grown under appropriate growing conditions. Colors are as accurate as possible with color illustrations of this type.
