ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as
Chrysanthemum×morifolium
and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Dreamy Yolinda’.
The new Chrysanthemum is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Chrysanthemum cultivar Linda, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,294. The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within a population of flowering plants of the parent cultivar in October, 1997 in a controlled environment in Hightstown, N.J. 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 Gainesville, Fla. since December, 1997, has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Dreamy Yolinda 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 ‘Dreamy Yolinda’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Dreamy Yolinda’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright plant habit.
2. Freely branching, dense, full plants.
3. Uniform and freely flowering.
4. Decorative-type inflorescences.
5. Light yellow-colored ray florets.
Compared to plants of the parent cultivar Linda, plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower earlier and differ in ray floret color.
