ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Carnation plant, botanically known as
Dianthus caryophyllus
and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Yoder Dream’.
The new Carnation is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Salinas, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new cut Carnation cultivars having long flowering stems, early flowering, attractive flower color, and good flower form and substance.
Tne new Carnation originated from a cross made by the Inventor in 1994, in Salinas, Calif., of a proprietary Carnation seedling selection identified as code number 0140, as the male, or pollen, parent with the Carnation cultivar ‘Nelson’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent.
The cultivar ‘Yoder Dream’ was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Suba, Cundinamarca, Colombia, in October, 1995. The selection of this plant was based on its flower color and good flower form and substance.
Asexual reproduction of the new Carnation by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Suba, Cundinamarca, Colombia, has shown that the unique features of this new Carnation are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Yoder Dream’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, light intensity, and water and nutritional status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Yoder Dream’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Yoder Dream’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Large and full pink-colored flowers.
2. Early flowering.
3. Fragrant flowers.
4. Strong calyxes which resist splitting.
5. Good postproduction longevity with flowers maintaining good substance and color for more than two weeks in an interior environment.
6. Resistance to
Fusarium oxysporum.
Plants of the new Carnation differ primarily from plants of the parent plants in flower form and substance.
Plants of the new Carnation can be compared to plants of the cultivar ‘Barlo II Nora’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Suba, Cundinamarca, Colombia, plants of the new Carnation and the cultivar ‘Barlo II Nora’ differ in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Carnation have longer, stronger and thicker flowering stems than plants of the cultivar ‘Barlo II Nora’.
2. Flowers of plants of the new Carnation are larger than flowers of plants of the cultivar ‘Barlo II Nora’.
3. Calyxes of plants of the new Carnation very rarely split, whereas calyxes of plants of the cultivar ‘Barlo II Nora’ are prone to splitting.
4. Flowers of plants of the new Carnation are slightly less fragrant than flowers of plants of the cultivar ‘Barlo II Nora’.
