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 of ‘Ovation Orange Swirls’. Ovation Orange Swirls was developed in a controlled breeding program by crossing Mikkelsen Seedling No. 95-1109-6 (seed parent) with Mikkelsen Seedling No. 95-1109-1 (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 Orange Swirls has Red-Orange Group 43B colored flowers with Red Group 56B radiating out from the center of the petals and is uniquely colored with Celebrette Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,108) being more of a salmon-orange (Red Group 40B) with a small area of Red Group 56B in center.
2. Ovation Orange Swirls has a much larger flower at 7.0 to 7.5 cm in diameter while the flower of Celebrette Peach is 5.5 to 6.0 cm in diameter.
3. Ovation Orange Swirls has deep green leaves while Celebrette Peach has dark green leaves with a red-purple cast.
4. Ovation Orange Swirls has a mounded growth habit while Celebrette Peach has a more upright habit of growth.
5. Ovation Orange Swirls has light green venation in leaves and the midrib is light green except on old leaves which have a touch of red-purple while Celebrette Peach has red-purple venation and midrib.
6. Ovation Orange Swirls has much less red pigmentation in the stems than Celebrette Peach.
7. Ovation Orange Swirls has a white stigma and style while Celebrette Peach has a red-purple stigma and style.
8. Ovation Orange Swirls has oval shaped leaves and Celebrette Peach has a lanceolate leaf shape.
