Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Chrysanthemum x morifolium.

Varietal denomination: ‘CIFZ0105’.

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT

The present invention comprises a new Chrysanthemum, botanically known as Chrysanthemum x morifolium, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘CIFZ0105’.

‘CIFZ0105’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has a medium to large size plant with round plant habit, a large size quilled decorative flower with bronze-yellow bicolor flower color, and a natural season response in mid to late September

‘CIFZ0105’ originated from a cross made in November 2018 in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands. Seeds were sown in June 2019 in Gilroy, Calif. and ‘CIFZ0105’ was selected from the resulting population on Nov. 4, 2019 in Alva, Fla.

The female parent was an unnamed proprietary seedling ‘FB0101’, not patented.

TABLE 1 Characteristics of the female parent, compared to ‘CIFZ0105’: ‘CIFZ0105’ ‘FB0101’ Natural response: ½ week slower ½ week faster Blackcloth response: Similar Similar Flower size: Bit larger Bit smaller Flower color: Orange/Golden Bronze Red Flower type: Similar Similar Plant size: Similar Similar Plant habit: Similar Similar Flower longevity: Flowers last but color Flowers and color fades hold up Plant strength: Similar Similar Flowering uniformity: Similar Similar

The male parent was an unnamed proprietary seedling ‘FB0049’, not patented.

The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘CIFZ0105’ was accomplished when vegetative stem cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in January 2020 in Alva, Fla.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in January 2020 and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘CIFZ0105’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.

‘CIFZ0105’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length.

A Plant Breeder's Right for this cultivar has not yet been applied for. ‘CIFZ0105’ has not been made publicly available prior to the effective filing date of this application, notwithstanding any disclosure that may have been made less than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application by the inventor or another who obtained ‘CIFZ0105’ directly from the inventor.

The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of the new variety. The combination of these characteristics distinguishes this Chrysanthemum as a new and distinct variety.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS

The accompanying photographic drawings show typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘CIFZ0105’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type.

The photographic drawings shows in FIG. 1 a close view of flower of the new variety and in

FIG. 2 a flowering plant from an outdoor trial.

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

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 the end of August 2022.

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