Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS

(1) The accompanying photographic drawings show typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘CIDZ0115’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type. The photographic drawings show in FIG. 1 a close-up view of an inflorescence, and in FIG. 2 a flowering plant of the new variety.

DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

(2) The plant descriptions and measurements were taken indoors in Gilroy, Calif. in August 2022 on about 11 week old plants. Unrooted cuttings had been planted, 4 plants per pot, in 6 inch pots in May 2022. The plants were pinched and moved to short days in June 2022 to induce flowering.

(3) The aforementioned photographs: FIGS. 1 and 2 was taken in Gilroy, Calif. in May 2022, and showing a plant from a trial, in which flowering had been induced by applying black cloth. These plants were about 11 weeks of age. Unrooted cuttings had been planted, 4 plants per pot, in 6 inch pots. The plants were pinched and moved to short days to induce flowering.
