Abstract

A new variety of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Esperanto Happy’, having a good uniform canopy of bright red/yellow striped single flowers with a yellow/green disc. The variety has medium vigor, a free branching and uniform spreading habit, and good foliage presentation.

Description

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/413,586, filed Sep. 24, 2002.
Latin name of the genus and species Botanical classification: Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new Chrysanthemum variety denomination is ‘Esperanto Happy’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum botanically known as Chrysanthemum morifolium, and referred to by the cultivar name ‘Esperanto Happy’.
‘Esperanto Happy’ originated from a naturally occurring whole plant mutation grown in a controlled planting of the variety ‘Esperanto Improved’ application Ser. No. 10/677,474 in Valsequillo, Gran Canaria, Spain. The new variety ‘Esperanto Happy’ has been asexually reproduced by vegetative cuttings in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom and the distinguishing characteristics are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
‘Esperanto Happy’ is a pot type of Chrysanthemum plant variety having red/yellow striped single flowers.
Comparison with Parent
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Esperanto Happy’ are most similar to the parent cultivar ‘Esperanto Improved’ in plant habitat and growth rate. In side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Esperanto Happy’ compared to plants of the parent cultivar ‘Esperanto Improved’ in the following characteristics.
1. The new variety ‘Esperanto Happy’ produces red/yellow striped single flowers whereas the parent cultivar ‘Esperanto Improved’ produces pink/white striped single type flowers.
2. Plants of the new variety ‘Esperanto Happy’ have similar inflorescence to the plants of the parent cultivar ‘Esperanto Improved’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS
Typical specimens of the plant and flowers for the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Esperanto Happy’ are shown in the accompanying digital photograph. The colors shown are as true as possible within the usual limits of this kind of illustration which is a whole plant view of the new variety ‘Esperanto Happy’ grown in a pot. The plant shown in the illustration is 53 days from commencement of short days.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following description of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Esperanto Happy’ is of plants grown in a greenhouse in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom in the month of February. The cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in the environment such as temperature, length of day and light intensity, without any variance in genotype. The commercial classification of the new variety is a pot Chrysanthemum.
Plants of the new variety have been grown successfully under temperature conditions averaging about 18° C. at night and about 24° C. to 25° C. during the day under light conditions of about 5000 to 6000 foot candles. The plants respond well to the use of growth retardant, such as B9 treatment. To produce a commercial product the plants may be pinched once with the center bud removed. The typical container size for commercial growth is 14 cm. It has been observed that the shelf life of the new variety is about 24 days with a response time of about 8 weeks. The new variety is suitable for growth in a temperature range of 17° C. to 28° C.
