Complete technical specification and implementation details from the patent document.
Latin name of the genus and species:
Cultivar denomination: ‘LOVE BIRD’.
The newcultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor at a nursery in De Lier, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to breed more compact and responsivecultivars. The cross resulting in this new cultivar was made during August of 2016.
The seed parent is the unpatentedcultivar ‘KR463’. The pollen parent is the unpatented cultivar‘KR443’. The new cultivar was discovered in August of 2021 by the inventor at the same location in De Lier, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was performed by tissue cuttings in January of 2022 at the same nursery in De Lier, The Netherlands, and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar ‘LOVE BIRD’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘LOVE BIRD’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘LOVE BIRD’ as a new and distinctcultivar:
Records of the breeding history contain the names of the parent varieties, but, characteristics are not available. The inventor cannot make a comparison to either of the parent varieties as the information is no longer available.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘LOVE BIRD’ can be compared to the unpatented commercial cultivar‘Ruby Parrot’. These cultivars are similar in most horticultural characteristics, however ‘LOVE BIRD’ differs in the following:
The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 1996, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘LOVE BIRD’ plants grown in a shade house in Key Largo, Florida. The growing temperature ranged from approximately 15° C. to 35° C. during the day and from approximately 15° C. to 20° C. during the night. General light conditions are bright, normal sunlight. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
