ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Mimulus plant, botanically known as
Mimulus aurantiacus
, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Jelly Bean Apricot.
The new Mimulus is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Alameda, Calif. The new Mimulus originated from a cross made by the Inventor of a proprietary selection of
Mimulus aurantiacus
identified as code No. B60-O15 as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of
Mimulus aurantiacus
identified as code No. K13-O13 as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Mimulus was selected in 1997 on the basis of its compact and freely flowering habit.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Alameda, Calif., has shown that the unique features of this new Mimulus are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Jelly Bean Apricot have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, and nutritional status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unqiue characteristics of ‘Jelly Bean Apricot’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Jelly Bean Apricot’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright, somewhat open and relatively compact plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit.
3. High vigor.
4. Dark green glossy leaves.
5. Numerous large flowers that are initially pale yellow and become pink with development.
