ABSTRACT:

Latin name of the genus and species: The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as
Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant is hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Gedi Two Omol.’
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is a product of a naturally occurring mutation discovered in a cultivated state on a branch of a Chrysanthemum plant variety ‘Molfetta Pink’ (undistributed in the United States). The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor in September 1998.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by apical tip cutting and meristem tissue culture was performed in Oxnard, Calif. and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Gedi Two Omol’ 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 ‘Gedi Two Omol.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Gedi Two Omol’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar:
1. Decorative-type inflorescence,
2. Consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 42 days of short day length,
3. Free branching habit,
4. Dark orange ray florets at first opening, with outer ray florets fading to a lighter orange and the center remaining dark at maturity and all ray florets changing to lighter orange with fading,
5. Very uniform round growth habit, and
6. Large quantity of blooms per flowering branch.
Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the parent variety, ‘Molfetta Pink’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar have ray florets of a different color and inflorescences of a smaller diameter than plants of the parent variety.
In comparison to the commercially available variety ‘Gedi One Nov’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,796), ‘Gedi Two Omol’ has fewer florets per inflorescence, fewer disc florets per inflorescence, a shorter blooming response time to short days, and a smaller diameter inflorescence.
