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 />
