Claims
It is claimed:
1. A new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant named `Fimmdaybriyel` as
illustrated and described.
Description
Botanical designation: Chrysanthemum.times.morifolium.
Cultivar denomination: `FIMMDAYBRIYEL`.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Chrysanthemum
plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum.times.morifolium,
commercially grown as a garden Chrysanthemum and hereinafter
referred to by the name `Fimmdaybriyel`.
The new Chrysanthemum plant is a product of a planned breeding
program conducted by the Inventor in Fareham, Hampshire, United
Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program is to create new
early-flowering garden Chrysanthemum plants with numerous
attractive inflorescences.
The new Chrysanthemum plant originated from a cross-pollination
made in January, 2008 by the Inventor in Fareham, Hampshire, United
Kingdom of a proprietary selection of
Chrysanthemum.times.morifolium identified as code number 83322, not
patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary
selection of Chrysanthemum.times.morifolium identified as code
number 83309, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new
Chrysanthemum plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as
a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated
cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in
Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom in September, 2008.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by terminal
vegetative cuttings was first conducted in Fareham, Hampshire,
United Kingdom in December, 2008. Asexual reproduction by terminal
vegetative cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new
Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive
generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have not been observed under all
possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The
phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental
conditions such as temperature, daylength and light intensity,
without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are
determined to be the unique characteristics of `Fimmdaybriyel`.
These characteristics in combination distinguish `Fimmdaybriyel` as
a new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant: 1. Upright to outwardly
spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit. 2. Freely branching
habit; dense and full plant habit. 3. Uniform and freely flowering
habit. 4. Medium-size decorative-type inflorescences with deep
yellow-colored ray florets. 5. Early flowering habit, under natural
season conditions, plants flower the third week in August in the
United Kingdom. 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the
female parent selection. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ
from plants of the female parent selection, in the following
characteristics: 1. Under natural season conditions, plants of the
new Chrysanthemum flower earlier than plants of the female parent
selection. 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have larger
inflorescences than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the
male parent selection. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from
plants of the male parent selection, in the following
characteristics: 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have slightly
smaller inflorescences than plants of the male parent selection. 2.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum and the male parent selection
differ in ray floret color as plants of the male parent selection
have lighter yellow-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of
Chrysanthemum.times.morifolium `Syngigi Yellow`, disclosed in U.S.
Plant Pat. No. 22,514. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in
Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom, plants of the new Chrysanthemum
differed from plants of `Syngigi Yellow` in the following
characteristics: 1. Under natural season conditions, plants of the
new Chrysanthemum flowered earlier than plants of `Syngigi Yellow`.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had larger inflorescences than
plants of `Syngigi Yellow`. 3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum and
`Syngigi Yellow` differed slightly in ray floret color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of
the new Chrysanthemum showing the colors as true as it is
reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this
type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color
values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately
describe the colors of the new Chrysanthemum.
The photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical
flowering plant of `Fimmdaybriyel` grown in a container.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and
measurements describe plants grown during the winter in 14-cm
containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Fareham, Hampshire,
United Kingdom and under cultural practices typical of commercial
garden Chrysanthemum production. During the production of the
plants, day and night temperatures ranged from 17.degree. C. to
21.degree. C. and light levels averaged 6,000 lux. Plants were
pinched one time and were about twelve weeks old when the
photograph and detailed description were taken. In the following
description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural
Society Colour Chart, Fifth Edition, except where general terms of
ordinary dictionary significance are used. Botanical
classification: Chrysanthemum.times.morifolium `Fimmdaybriyel`.
