ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Chrysanthemum×morifolium
cultivar Sunny Yocamille.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Chrysanthemum
plant, botanically known as
Chrysanthemum×morifolium
, commercially known as a garden-type
Chrysanthemum
and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunny Yocamille’.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Alva, Fla. The objective of the breeding program is to create new garden-type
Chrysanthemum
cultivars having inflorescences with desirable inflorescence forms, attractive floret colors and good garden performance.
The new
Chrysanthemum
is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the
Chrysanthemum×morifolium
cultivar Yocamille, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,791. The new
Chrysanthemum
was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of the cultivar Yocamille in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla. in April, 2002. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form, attractive ray floret color and good garden performance.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla. since June, 2002, 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 Sunny Yocamille 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 ‘Sunny Yocamille’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunny Yocamille’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact, upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit; dense and full plants.
3. Uniform and freely flowering habit.
4. Daisy-type inflorescences with elongated oblong-shaped ray florets.
5. Light yellow-colored ray florets and bright yellow-colored disc florets.
6. Natural season flowering in mid September in the Northern Hemisphere.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
differed from plants of the parent, the cultivar Yocamille in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
flowered about one day later than plants of the cultivar Yocamille under natural season conditions.
2. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
and the cultivar Yocamille differed in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar Yocamille had salmon pink-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
can be compared to plants of the
Chrysanthemum
cultivar Yoclaudia, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,212. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
differed from plants of the cultivar Yoclaudia in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Yoclaudia.
2. Ray florets of plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
faded faster than ray florets of plants of the cultivar Yoclaudia.
Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
can also be compared to plants of the
Chrysanthemum
cultivar Yellow Atlantico, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
differed from plants of the cultivar Yellow Atlantico in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Yellow Atlantico.
2. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
flowered about ten days earlier than plants of the cultivar Yellow Atlantico when grown under natural season conditions in southern climates.
