ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification:
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana.
Varietal denomination: ‘Forever Maxi Sunray Yellow’.
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 Sunray Yellow’, Breeder No. 97-153-7. ‘Forever Maxi Sunray Yellow’ was discovered through controlled breeding by crossing Mikkelsen Seedling No. 93-146-10 (seed parent, unpatented) and Mikkelsen Seedling No. 93-118-1 (pollen parent, unpatented) in Ashtabula, Ohio.
Asexual reproduction of stem cuttings taken 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 both its parent varieties and other cultivated Kalanchoes of this type known and used in the floriculture industry, namely, ‘Goldstrike’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,632) and ‘Revelry’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,795).
1. ‘Forever Maxi Sunray Yellow’ has Yellow Group 7B colored flowers which are similar to ‘Revelry’ compared to ‘Goldstrike’ being a golden yellow, Yellow-Orange Group 15B.
2. ‘Forever Maxi Sunray Yellow’ is a taller growing cultivar at 18 cm than ‘Goldstrike’ at 14 cm and ‘Revelry’ at 12 cm.
3. ‘Forever Maxi Sunray Yellow’ has larger flowers (18 mm wide) than ‘Goldstrike’ and ‘Revelry’ (15 mm wide each).
4. ‘Forever Maxi Sunray Yellow’ has an obovate leaf shape being almost round while ‘Goldstrike’ and ‘Revelry’ have ovate leaves.
5. ‘Forever Maxi Sunray Yellow’ has shallower crenate lobing of the leaves than either ‘Goldstrike’ and ‘Revelry’ which have deeper crenate lobing.
6. ‘Forever Maxi Sunray Yellow’ has a shorter flowering response time of 8.5-9 weeks in the summer and 10-10.5 weeks in the winter than ‘Goldstrike’ and ‘Revelry’ which are both 1.5 weeks later to bloom in both seasons.
7. ‘Forever Maxi Sunray Yellow’ flowers keep up to 7 days longer under home conditions than ‘Goldstrike’ and ‘Revelry’.
