Abstract
This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) named `Frau Fujiyo` which originated as a seedling from the inventor's controlled hybridization of the Hydrangea macrophylla cultivars `Madam Blumkock` and `Silver Edge` and is distinguished from its parents and all other varieties of Hydrangea macrophylla of which I am aware by the combination of the distinctive pigmentation pattern of its sepals which gives the florets a pin-wheel appearance; its compact growth habit; the ease with which it can be forced in a greenhouse; and its large, dense, long-lasting inflorescence having a strong peducnle which does not require staking for support, making it ideal for pot culture. Sepal pigmentation of individual Hydrangea macrophylla plants depends on the nutrients and pH of the growing medium. The sepals of `Madam Blumkock` are uniformly pink and the sepals of `Silver Edge` are uniformly red with a white edge.
Description
This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of the Saxifragaceae family. The botanical name of the plant is Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.). The varietal denomination is `Frau Fujiyo`. The new cultivar originated as a seedling from the inventor's controlled crossing as pollen and seed parents, respectively, the varieties known as `Madam Blumkock` and `Silver Edge` in Tochigi-Prefecture, Japan. `Frau Fujiyo` was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated parentage in a controlled environment.
`Frau Fujiyo` is distinguished from its parents and all other varieties of Hydrangea macrophylla of which I am aware, by the combination of the distinctive pigmentation pattern of its sepals which gives the florets a pin-wheel appearance; its compact growth habit; the ease with which it can be forced in a greenhouse; and its large, dense, long-lasting inflorescence having a strong peduncle which does not require staking for support, making it ideal for pot culture.
The naturally occurring colors of Hydrangea plants are either uniformly pink, blue or white depending on the pH and nutrients of the soil. Hydrangea plants having mixed white and pink or white and blue flower coloring are relatively new and not in common use. The sepal color of `Frau Fujiyo` begins uniformly green and turns color starting at the outer tips of the sepals, and at maturity is predominantly colored with an irregular, white edge. As each floret matures, the color starts in the tip of the green sepal, and simultaneously the color in the tip spreads down the center of the sepal and slowly spreads out towards the sides while the green color turns to white, resulting in each sepal having color the length of the center of the sepal and white sides. This gives each floret the appearance of a pin-wheel, and the inflorescence appears to be composed of a multitude of pin-wheel florets. This pin-wheel effect lessens as the inflorescence ages and the color spreads out more to the sides, but it can be seen again in the very old blooms that develop chlorophyll as they fade and die. The sepal coloration of the seed parent `Silver Edge` is uniformly red with a white edge, and the sepal coloration of the pollen parent `Madam Blumkock` is uniformly pink.
This new cultivar has been successfully asexually reproduced by vegetative cuttings under controlled environmental conditions at a commercial nursery in Tochigi-Prefecture, Japan, under the direction of the inventor over a ten year period from 1986 to 1996, with its distinguishing characteristics remaining stable.
The accompanying drawings consist of color photographs that show the typical plant form, including the inflorescence, foliage, and unique sepal pigmentation pattern. `Frau Fujiyo` is shown with a pink and white sepal pigmentation pattern, but a blue and white pigmentation pattern is also possible by manipulation of the nutrient amendments and the pH of the growing meidum. The colors are represented as truly as possible using conventional photographic procedures.
FIG. 1 is a view of the entire plant showing its form, compact growth habit, dark green foliage, dense and large inflorescence, and unique pin-wheel-like sepal pigmentation pattern.
FIG. 2 is a close-up view of a flower head illustrating the stages of the color changes occurring in the sepals as they mature.
FIG. 3 is a close-up-view of four individual florets at maturity illustrating the flat, overlapping shape of the sepals, the irregular white edges with color in the center of the sepals spreading lengthwise to the apex, and the irregularly serrated edges of the sepals.
`Frau Fujiyo` has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day-length. The following is a detailed description of the new cultivar as forced under the prevailing day-lengths at Half Moon Bay, Calif. under commercial greenhouse conditions at a time appropriate for the sale of the cultivar in the spring. The color determinations were made with The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) Colour Chart.
