Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH

[0028] The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Mandevilla plant 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 actual colors of the new Mandevilla plant. The photograph is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of TVMD714 grown in a container.

DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

[0029] The aforementioned photograph and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in July in 15-cm containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Sao Paulo, Brazil and under cultural practices typical of commercial Mandevilla production.

Plants were pinched three times: four weeks, six weeks and eight weeks after planting. Plants were 33 weeks old when the photograph and 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.
