ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and distinctive cultivar of Impatiens plant, botanically known as
Impatiens Hawkeri
, commercially known as New Guinea Impatiens, and known by the cultivar name ‘Ovation Deep Orange’. Ovation Deep Orange was developed in a controlled breeding program by crossing Mikkelsen Seedling No. 94-555-11 (seed parent) with Mikkelsen Seedling No. 95-173-1 (pollen parent). Both parents are proprietary breeding lines which have not been sold or made publicly available in this country.
Asexual reproduction carried out by the inventor in Lompoc, Calif. by terminal or stem cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens are stabilized and are reproduced true to type in successive propagations.
The following combination of characteristics distinguish the new Impatiens from both its parent varieties and other cultivated Impatiens of this type known and used in the floriculture industry:
1. Ovation Deep Orange has a flower color of Red Group 44B which is similar to Timor (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,144) but darker orange than the flowers of Bonfire Orange (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,398) colored Red Group 40A.
2. Ovation Deep Orange has a larger flower being 6.5 to 7.0 cm in diameter while Timor and Bonfire Orange have 6.0 to 6.5 cm diameter flowers.
3. Ovation Deep Orange is intermediate in height with Timor being more compact and Bonfire Orange being taller.
4. Ovation Deep Orange has a more mounded growth habit than each of Timor and Bonfire Orange which have a more upright growth habit.
5. Ovation Deep Orange has green leaf undersides which is similar to Timor while Bonfire Orange has a red-purple cast to the leaf undersides.
6. Ovation Deep Orange has a red-purple cast to the pedicel while both Timor and Bonfire Orange have green pedicels.
7. Ovation Deep Orange has a pronounced red area at center of underside of standard petal not present in Timor or Bonfire Orange.
8. Ovation Deep Orange stigma has a red-purple cast while Timor has a white stigma and Bonfire Orange has a red-purple stigma.
