Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant named `Gallery Leonardo`, characterized by its suitability for potted plants, garden or patio plants, or as cut flowers; upright and spreading, compact and freely branching plant habit; dark green foliage; early and profuse flowering; rapid growth rate; large decorative-type inflorescences that are about 11 cm in diameter; salmon-colored ray florets; and good postproduction longevity.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant, botanically known as Dahlia hybrid and referred to by the cultivar name `Gallery Leonardo`.
The new cultivar was discovered by the inventor in a controlled environment in Lisse, The Netherlands, in 1992, as a naturally-occurring mutation of the nonpatented Dahlia cultivar `Decorette`. The new cultivar was observed as a single plant in a group of 13-cm flowering plants of the parent cultivar. The selection of this plant was based on its unique ray floret color.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Lisse, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Dahlia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar `Gallery Leonardo` has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Gallery Leonardo`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Gallery Leonardo` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Suitable for potted plants, garden or patio plants, or as cut flowers.
2. Upright and spreading, compact and freely branching plant habit.
3. Dark green foliage.
4. Early and profuse flowering.
5. Rapid growth rate.
6. Large decorative-type inflorescences that are about 11 cm in diameter.
7. Salmon-colored ray florets.
8. Good postproduction longevity with open inflorescences maintaining good substance and color for least 10 days and plants maintaining good substance and flowering for 3 to 4 months.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar. The colored photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of `Gallery Leonardo`. This photograph shows the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Floret and foliage colors in the photograph may differ from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Lisse, The Netherlands, under conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial potted Dahlia production with day temperatures averaging 21° C. and night temperatures averaging 14° C. Plants are grown during the summer and measurements and numerical values were averages derived from typical flowering plants in September.
