Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

(1) The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type.

(2) FIG. 1 illustrates an entire flowering plant of the new variety.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT

(3) The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions and carried out in a greenhouse from winter through summer in Dresden, Germany The new variety was grown in a 19 cm pot, with treatment of Cycocel 720 0.2% five times, and two pinchings. The readings and measurements were taken on a 9-month old plant in a room with a window, but without direct sunlight or artificial light. Color references are primarily to the 1995 edition of The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
