ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Chrysanthemum×morifolium
cultivar Yoprovidence.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present nvention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Chrysanthemum
plant, botanically known as
Chrysanthemum×morifolium
and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Yoprovidence’.
The new
Chrysanthemum
is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the nventor in Salinas, Calif. and Fort Myers, Fla. The objective of the program is to create or discover new potted
Chrysanthemum
cultivars that are suitable for year-round production with uniform plant growth habit, good vigor and strong branching habit, numerous inflorescences, desirable inflorescence form and floret colors, fast and uniform flowering response, and good postproduction longevity.
The new
Chrysanthemum
originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in February, 2000, in Salinas, Calif., of a proprietary
Chrysanthemum
seedling selection identified as code number YB-A1516, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary
Chrysanthemum
seedling selection identified as code number YB-A0161, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new
Chrysanthemum
was discovered and selected by the Inventor in November, 2000, as a single flowering plant from within the resulting progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled environment in Fort Myers, Fla.
The selection of this plant was based on its uniform plant growth habit, good vigor and strong branching habit, numerous inflorescences, desirable inflorescence form and floret colors, fast and uniform flowering response, and good postproduction longevity.
Asexual reproduction of the new
Chrysanthemum
by vegetative tip cuttings was first conducted in Fort Myers, Fla. in February, 2001. Asexual reproduction by cuttings 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 Yoprovidence has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, and/or light level, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Yoprovidence’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Yoprovidence’ as a new and distinct
Chrysanthemum:
1. Uniform and outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Strong and freely branching growth habit.
3. Dark green-colored foliage.
4. Uniform flowering response and habit.
5. Can be grown as a disbud or as a spray-type.
6. Early flowering, eight week response time.
7. Decorative-type inflorescences.
8. Bright yellow-colored ray florets.
9. Good postproduction longevity with plants maintaining good substance and color for about four to five weeks in an interior environment.
Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
differ from plants of the female parent selection primarily in ray floret coloration as plants of the female parent selection have bronze-colored ray florets. In addition, plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
flower have stronger lateral stems than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
differ from plants of the male parent selection primarily in ray floret coloration as plants of the male parent selection have white-colored ray florets. In addition, inflorescences of plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
do not have disc florets whereas inflorescences of plants of the male parent selection have disc florets.
Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
can be compared to plants of the cultivar Yocovington, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,031. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Fort Myers, Fla., plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
differed from plants of the cultivar Yocovington in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
were taller than plants of the cultivar Yocovington.
2. Inflorescences of plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
did not have disc florets whereas inflorescences of plants of the cultivar Yocovington had disc florets.
