Abstract
The cultivar is characterized by its clean, deep pink color. Its compact, controlled growth habit and prolific blooms provide for superb cuttings and performs equally well in hanging baskets or as a pot plant. The blooms continue for 8 to 10 weeks in the greenhouse.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×domesticum known by the varietal name Erin (Oglevee No. 57, Bodger No. 8PD 37-1). The new variety was discovered in a selective breeding program by David Lemon at Bodger Seeds, Ltd., Lompoc, Calif. The new variety is a selection from the crossing of Olga (unpatented) ×Hazel Harmony (unpatented). Olga has light orchid flowers and light green leaves, whereas Erin has salmon pink flowers and medium dark leaves. Hazel Harmony is a lavender bicolor variety.
The new cultivar was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Ltd., Connellsville, Pa., and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The new cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., using full light 60° Fahrenheit night temperature, 68° Fahrenheit day temperature, 72° Fahrenheit vent temperature and grown in a soilless media of constant fertilizer 150 to 200 parts per million of nitrogen and potassium has a response time of fourteen (14) weeks from the rooted cutting to a flowering plant in a 15.0 cm pot.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the new cultivar, the color being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
The following detailed description sets forth characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines each characteristic was collected from asexual reproductions carried out by Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The plant histories were taken on rooted cuttings potted on Nov. 1, 1993 and flowered Feb. 10, 1994 under full light and greenhouse, and colorings were taken indoors under 200-220 foot candles of fluorescent cool white light using the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.

This new Geranium variety, Erin, is an improvement on the current Regal variety Allure (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,467). The flower color is a cleaner and deeper pink than Allure. The plant form is more controlled with abundant cuttings.
For production purposes, Erin is a very good cutting producer and is very easy to root. Erin can be used in either hanging baskets or as a pot plant and will be a very prolific bloomer.
