| Abstract: |
A new Impatiens plant, characterized particularly as to novelty by a strong and upright growing habit, freely branching, resulting in a compact growing habit with large, double, orange and white flowers, flowering above the foliage. |
| Claim: |
What is claimed is:
1. A new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant named `Imdobicor,` as substantially illustrated and described herein. |
| Description: |
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Impatiens walleriana.
Varietal denomination: `Imdobicor`.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new distinct cultivar of Impatiens, botanically known as Impatiens walleriana.
The new Impatiens is a product of a planned breeding program conducted in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The new Impatiens cultivar has a compact growing type, early flowering, floriferous with large, double flowers and with attractive foliage.
The present cultivar originated from a pollination made in 2002, of a proprietary Impatiens selection identified as `T2830-1,` not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with a proprietary Impatiens selection identified as `T2827-2,` notpatented, as the male, or pollen parent.
The present cultivar has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, in Angers, France, in Gilroy, USA over a two year period. The distinctive characters of this new Impatiens are stable and reproduced true totype in successive generations of asexual reproduction. It takes 6 to 8 weeks to produce a finished plant, depending on the temperature.
This new Impatiens plant is an annual in most climatical zones in the US, only in zones 9 and 10 it is a perennial plant.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
This new Impatiens plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows blooms, buds and foliage of the plant in full color, the color showing being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographicprocedures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of this new Impatiens. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The plant historywas taken on 25 week old plants, blossomed under natural light in the field.
Color readings were taken in the office under ambient light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Color Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
Plants of the new Impatiens differ primarily from the plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
Plants of the new Impatiens have orange and white flowers with only petals, whereas the plants of the female have orange and white flowers with pollen cap and stigma.
Plants of the new Impatiens differ primarily from the male plant selection in the following characteristics:
Plants of the new Impatiens have orange and white flowers with only petals, whereas the plants of the male have orange and white flowers with pollen cap and stigma.
