Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Bougainvillea plant named ‘Vera Lynn’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and compact growth habit; thornless stems; roughly spherical inflorescences with numerous flowers; and pink-colored flower bracts.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Bougainvillea spectabilis cultivar Vera Lynn.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Bougainvillea plant, botanically known as Bougainvillea spectrabilis, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Vera Lynn’.
The new Bougainvillea is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Bougainvillea spectabilis cultivar Vera Deep Purple, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,950. The new Bougainvillea was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of the cultivar Vera Deep Purple in a controlled environment in Schipluiden, The Netherlands in July, 2000. The selection of this plant was based on its attractive flower color.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings at Schipluiden, The Netherlands since Fall, 2000, has shown that the unique features of this new Bougainvillea are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Vera Lynn have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and/or light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Vera Lynn’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Vera Lynn’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright, outwardly spreading and compact growth habit.
2. Thornless stems.
3. Roughly spherical inflorescences with numerous flowers.
4. Pink-colored flower bracts.
Plants of the new Bougainvillea differ from plants of the parent cultivar, Vera Deep Purple, primarily in flower bract coloration as plants of the cultivar Vera Deep Purple have purple-colored flower bracts.
Plants of the new Bougainvillea differ from plants of the cultivar Vera Pink, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/805,578 filed concurrently, primarily in flower bract coloration as plants of the cultivar Vera Pink have lighter pink-colored flower bracts than plants of the new Bougainvillea.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Bougainvillea.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Vera Deep Purple’, left, and ‘Vera Lynn’, right.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
