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 Salmon’. Ovation Salmon was developed in a controlled breeding program by crossing Waller Seedling No. 96-2G-50-1 (seed parent) with Waller Seedling No. 93-1G-750 (pollen parent). The seed and pollen 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 distinguishes the new Impatiens from both its parent varieties and other cultivated Impatiens of this type known and used in the floriculture industry:
1. Ovation Salmon flowers are salmon-orange colored of Orange-Red Group 33A, as compared to Harmony Deep Salmon (unpatented), which is Red Group 40A, and Celebration Salmon (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,870), which is Red Group 52A.
2. Ovation Salmon has a similar flower diameter size as Harmony Deep Salmon (6.5 to 7.0 cm) and is smaller than Celebration Salmon (7.0 to 7.5 cm).
3. Ovation Salmon has smaller leaves (9 to 10 cm) than Harmony Deep Salmon and Celebration Salmon (11 to 12 cm).
4. Ovation Salmon is similar in height to Harmony Deep Salmon but more compact growing than Celebration Salmon.
5. Ovation Salmon has bright green leaves while Harmony Deep Salmon has dark green leaves and Celebration Salmon has medium green leaves with some cream variegation.
6. Ovation Salmon has red-purple pedicels while both Harmony Deep Salmon and Celebration Salmon have yellow-green pedicels.
7. Ovation Salmon has red-purple spurs with red-purple tips while Harmony Deep Salmon and Celebration Salmon have red-purple spurs with green tips.
8. Ovation Salmon has red-purple stems while Harmony Deep Salmon and Celebration Salmon have green stems.
9. Ovation Salmon has a red-purple midrib and green veins on the underside of the leaves, while Harmony Deep Salmon has red-purple veins and midribs, and Celebration Salmon has green veins and midrib on the underside of the leaves.
