ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Begonia×hybrida
cultivar Celina.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant, botanically known as
Begonia×hiemalis,
commercially known as Elatior Begonia, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Celina’.
The new Begonia was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Gönnebek, Germany, in 2001, as a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of
Begonia×hiemalis
‘Janina’, disclosed in a U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/637,066) filed concurrently. The new Begonia was observed as a single flowering plant within a population of flowering plants of the cultivar Janina. The selection of this plant was based on its unique flower coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia by cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Gönnebek, Germany, since 2001 has shown that the unique features of this new Begonia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Celina’ 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 ‘Celina’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Celina’ as a new and distinct Begonia cultivar:
1. Compact, upright and rounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching growth habit.
3. Double flowers that are light orange in color and held above and beyond the foliage.
4. Excellent postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Begonia are most similar to plants of the parent cultivar Janina; however plants of the new Begonia differ from plants of the cultivar Janina primarily in flower color as plants of the cultivar Janina have pink and yellow-colored flowers.
