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 Fig.’
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is a product of hybridization of a female parent Chrysanthemum plant variety ‘Sapiro Orange’ (undistributed in the United States) and a male parent Chrysanthemum plant variety ‘Gedi VL8’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,344). The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor in October 1996.
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 Fig’ 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 Fig.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Gedi Two Fig’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar:
1. Decorative-type inflorescence,
2. Consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 49 days of short day length,
3. Free branching habit,
4. Yellow ray florets,
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 female parent variety, ‘Sapiro Orange’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar have a wider diameter inflorescence and ray florets of a different color than plants of the female parent variety. Plants of the new variety also naturally bloom two weeks earlier than plants of the female parent variety.
Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the male parent variety, ‘Gedi VL8’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar have ray florets of a different color and more blooms per flowering branch than plants of the male parent variety. Plants of the new cultivar also naturally bloom two weeks earlier than plants of the male parent variety.
In comparison to the commercially available variety ‘Gedi One Nov’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,796), ‘Gedi Two Fig’ blooms two weeks earlier naturally and has an inflorescence of a single color, fewer ray florets, and has blooms with a smaller diameter.
