plant named ‘AN2181990’

Botanical designation:

Cultivar denomination: ‘AN2181990’.

A European Community Plant Breeder's Rights application for the instant plant was filed by the Applicant/Assignee of the instant application, Anthura B.V. of Bleiswijk, The Netherlands on Nov. 20, 2024, application number 2024/2698. Foreign priority is not claimed to this application.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar ofplant, botanically known as, commonly referred to as Flamingo Flower and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘AN2181990’.

The newplant is a product of a controlled breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compactplants with durable red-colored spathes.

The newplant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in January 2015 in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands of a proprietary breeding selection ofidentified as code number 11-026379-0005, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary breeding selection ofidentified as code number 09-023205-0006, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The newwas discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands in December 2016.

Asexual reproduction of the newplant by in vitro meristem propagation in a controlled environment in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands since November 2019 has shown that the unique features of this neware stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.

Plants of the newhave not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment conditions such as temperature 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 ‘AN2181990’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘AN2181990’ as a new and distinctplant:

Plants of the newdiffer primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:

Plants of the newdiffer primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:

Plants of the newcan also be compared to plants of‘Antarto’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the newdiffer primarily from plants of ‘Antarto’ in the following characteristics:

The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 9-cm containers during the winter in a glass-covered greenhouse in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands. Plants were grown under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercialproduction. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures ranged from about 19° C. to about 22.5° C. and light levels ranged from about 100 μmol to about 200 μmol. Plants were nine months from planting young rooted plants when the photographs and the detailed description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
