ABSTRACT:

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant, botanically known as
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana
, and known by the cultivar name ‘Forever Maxi Antique Pink’. ‘Forever Maxi Antique Pink’ was developed in a controlled breeding program in Ashtabula, Ohio by crossing Mikkelsen Seedling No. 90-298-1 (seed parent) (unpatented) with Mikkelsen Seedling No. 91-148-3 (pollen parent) (unpatented). The seed and pollen parents are proprietary breeding lines which have not been sold or made publicly available in this country. The plant is perennial but typically used as an annual in the floriculture industry.
Asexual reproduction by stem cuttings taken by the inventor in Lompoc, Calif. has shown that the unique features of this new Kalanchoe are stabilized and are reproduced true to type in successive propagations.
The following characteristics distinguish the new Kalanchoe from other cultivated Kalanchoes of this type known to the inventor. The characteristics are described with comparative reference to the cultivars Baluran (unpatented) and Kerinci (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,031).
1. ‘Forever Maxi Antique Pink’ has flowers colored deep pink of Red Group 55A while ‘Baluran’ has paler colored flowers of Red-Purple Group 57D and ‘Kerinci’ has flowers between Pink Groups 66C and 66D.
2. ‘Forever Maxi Antique Pink’ is taller at 18 cm than ‘Baluran’ at 16 cm and ‘Kerinci’ at 14 cm.
3. ‘Forever Maxi Antique Pink’ has larger flowers at 16 mm in diameter while ‘Baluran’ and ‘Kerinci’ each have flowers of 14 mm in diameter.
4. ‘Forever Maxi Antique Pink’ has larger leaves (9 to 10 cm long) than each of ‘Baluran’ and ‘Kerinci’ (8 to 9 cm long).
5. ‘Forever Maxi Antique Pink’ has a cyme inflorescence while ‘Baluran’ and ‘Kerinci’ each have a compound umbel type of inflorescence.
6. ‘Forever Maxi Antique Pink’ has thicker stronger primary and secondary peduncles than each of ‘Baluran’ and ‘Kerinci’.
