Anthurium hybrid<br />

Flamingo Flower<br />

‘Antinkeles’ syn Pink Champion<br />

Application No: 2001/013 Accepted: 6 Feb 2001.<br />

Applicant: Anthura B.V., Bleiswijk, The Netherlands.<br />

Agent: W & E Sieverding Wholesale Nursery, Kemps<br />

Creek, NSW.<br />

thickness thin to medium, intensity of green colour of<br />

middle part medium, anthocyanin colouration weak to<br />

medium (weak). Spathe: position compared to leaves<br />

slightly above, size small to medium, broad ovate, lobes<br />

present, relative position of lobes free, distal part rounded,<br />

tip acuminate, main colour of upper side rose pink ca. RHS<br />

52B (RHS 54A), main colour of lower side ca. RHS 58D<br />

(RHS 54B), glossiness medium, weak blistering, shape in<br />

cross section of middle zone concave, angle of distal part to<br />

the peduncle obtuse, distance between spadix and sinus<br />

very short. Spadix: short to medium length, width at the<br />

middle medium, rolling absent, curvature of longitudinal<br />

axis weakly incurved to straight, tapering towards the top<br />

medium, main colour of basal and distal part shortly before<br />

dehiscence of anthers red purple, main colour of basal and<br />

distal parts shortly after dehiscence of anthers light purple.<br />

Flowering: early. (Data in parenthesis based on local<br />

observation, all RHS colour chart number used in local<br />

observation is from 1986 edition.).<br />

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />

‘Sweetheart Cherry’ x pollen parent 93-372-02 in a planned<br />

breeding program. ‘Pink Champion’ differs from the<br />

maternal parent ‘Sweetheart Cherry’ having a shorter leaf<br />

blade and from the unnamed pollen parent (breeding line) in<br />

the colour of the upper side of the spathe which is rose pink.<br />

Selection criteria: pink-red flower colour. Propagation:<br />

tissue culture. Breeder: J van Dyk and NAM van<br />

Reismalen, Anthura B.V., Bleiswijk, The Netherlands.<br />

Choice of Comparators The qualified person considers<br />

that ‘Sweet Dream’ has similarity to ‘Antinkeles’ syn Pink<br />

Champion in spathe size and colouration. However, ‘Sweet<br />

Dream’ spathe has RHS 54C upper side with white streaks,<br />

RHS 56D lower side and spadix colouration RHS 47A.<br />

‘Champion’ was considered as it exhibits a similar growth<br />

habit but has a white spathe as has ‘Arena’ but it has an<br />

orange spathe. The seed parent ‘Sweetheart Cherry’ was not<br />

considered for reasons stated above.<br />

Comparative Trial The detailed description published<br />

herein is based on CPVO Report ANM 394 dated 5 Jan<br />

1999 and local observations made in Kemps Creek, NSW in<br />

March 2001.<br />
