Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS

(1) The accompanying photographic drawings show typical flower and foliage characteristics of CIFZ0106 with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type.

(2) The photographic drawing shows in FIG. 1 a close view of flower of the new variety and in

(3) FIG. 2 a flowering plant from an outdoor trial.

(4) The aforementioned photographs: FIG. 1, as well as FIG. 2, were taken on Sep. 5, 2022 both showing a plant from the same blackcloth indoor trial in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands.

(5) These plants were about 13 weeks of age. One rooted cutting per pot had been planted in a 19 cm pot, not pinched in week 23, 2022 and black clothed from week 29. Plants started flowering beginning of September 2022.

(6) The measurements were taken in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands in September, 2022 on plants from the same indoor blackcloth trial.
