Abstract

A new variety of Hydrangea macrophylla `Hobella` producing clusters of flowers that pass through three phases of different coloration.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Hydrangea macrophylla which was originated as a selected seedling derived by crossing as seed and pollen parents two undistributed, unnamed seedlings of my creation identified as `K731` and `W734`, respectively. The varietal denomination of this new plant is `Hobella`.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety produces large, soft pink flowers which when just blooming are in lace cap form. Subsequently, more sterile flowers appear between the fertile flowers in the center which give the impression of a flower head with only sterile flowers, which of course depends upon on the bud development. When placed in front of a window, the soft pink color becomes lemon green and when the plant is placed outside, the lemon green becomes cherry red. This color change is refer to as three phases of colorization; namely, phases 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
The new variety has been asexually reproduced vegetatively from cuttings and the first asexual reproduction of `Hobella` was accomplished by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Huissen, Gelderland Province, in The Netherlands.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS
The accompanying photographic illustrations show typical plant specimens of the new cultivar with colors as true as possible for color illustrations of this type.
FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 illustrate the change in coloration occurring through the three phases of color change characteristic of this variety.
