The merit and identity of cymbidium orchids lies generally in colour and form characteristics of their flowers. Unusual flower colour markings and flower shape and arrangement on the flower spike are particularly sought after among orchid breeders and admirers alike.
Whilst many current orchid cultivars exhibit attractive flower characteristics, a planned breeding program was undertaken by the present applicant in an effort to produce a cultivar having unique characteristics, and in particular a visually striking flower colour combination. The cultivar of the present invention is the product of that breeding program.
0e o. According to the present invention, there is provided a a cymbidiumn orchid cultivar as shown in accompanying photographs S and characterised by flowers each having the following *0 identifying colours: Dorsal sepal yellow orange 18A Petals yellow orange 18A Lower sepals yellow orange 18A Laballum orange red 34 flushed with orange red Column yellow orange 18A Keel of lip yellow orange 16A 09l 0'i 0' *0 0 0~ U I a *d Anther cap white, the flower colours being identified with reference to a standard chart of the Royal Horticultural Society.
Remaining (non-flower) characteristics of the cultivar of the present invention are common to cymbidium orchids in general.
The best method known to the applicant for producing this cultivar is by crossing the orchid varieties known as "Wallara" and "Borough Green". Thus, crossing the parent variety "Wallara" with "Borough Green" iias been found to produce the above orchid cultivar. The parent orchid varieties are publically available in Australia. Stocks of the parent orchid varieties are also held by and available from the applicant. Known cymbidium orchid breeding techniques and procedures were usi'J in this method. This method of producing the cultivar is readily repeatable by S42 -w 2- £f ,I t-
H
other persons skilled in plant breeding techniques, with a probability (the level of which is unknown to the applicant) that the cultivar will be brFd.
The present applicant has named the orchid cultivar so produced "Jubliation Geronimo".
The size of the flowers might vary, but typically may be about 118 mm wide between the extremity of the petal tips. In addition, the following flower part sizes may be typical (although variations may occur): 0~*O 0 04 *900 0 9~ 0 ~t ,t 0 C *00S *0 0g 2a Part Length Width Petal 60 mm 45 mm Dorsal 50 mm 45 mm Ventral 65 mm 49 mm Labellum 35 mm 35 mm.
The stem or spike carrying the flowers of the orchid cultivar has been observed as arching. Moreover, each spike has been observed as carrying about 15 flowers, although that may vary.
The properties and characteristics exhibited by the cultivar of the present invention are stably inherited by vegatative propogation, such as by using well known tissue culture techniques.
In order to fully understand the present invention, two colour photographs accompany the specification and show specimen flowers of the orchid cultivar produced according to the best method known to the applicant. These photographs show the flower colours as true as is reasonably possible with l photographic reproductions.
The cymbidium orchid cultivar of the present invention is considered to produce outstanding meritorious flowers in both colouration and configuration.
