ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as
Dendranthema grandifora
and referred to by the cultivar name Sunny Yorobin.
The new Chrysanthemum is a naturally-occurring mutation of the
Dendranthema grandiflora
cultivar Robin, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,300. The new Chrysanthemum was discovered by the Inventor as a single plant in a controlled environment in Kalamazoo, Mich., within a population of plants of ‘Robin’ in August, 1995. 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 Kalamazoo, Mich., and Salinas, Calif., 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 Yorobin 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 Yorobin’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunny Yorobin’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Uniformly mounded and dense plant habit.
2. Relatively early flowering.
3. Decorative type inflorescences that are about 4.5 cm in diameter.
4. Attractive golden yellow ray florets.
5. Numerous inflorescences per plant.
The new Chrysanthemum is similar to the parent cutivar Robin in plant habit. However plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from plants of the cultivar Robin in ray floret color as ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum are golden yellow and ray florets of plants of the cultivar Robin are orange bronze.
