Application No: 2000/068 Accepted: 29 Mar 2000.<br />
Applicant: Ball FloraPlant – A Division of Ball<br />
Horticultural Company, Illinios, USA.<br />
Agent: Oasis Horticulture Pty Ltd, Winmalee, NSW.<br />
Characteristics (Table 19, Figure 20) Plant: height of<br />
foliage medium, width medium. Leaf: length medium,<br />
width medium, shape ovate, blade ground colour of upper<br />
side green with red striations on upper side of petiole,<br />
intensity of ground colour light, blade markings absent,<br />
colour of lower side between veins green. Flower: double,<br />
diameter medium (average 44.3mm), number of colours<br />
one, main colour of upper side of petal red (RHS 44B,<br />
1986), eye zone absent. Time of beginning of flowering:<br />
early.<br />
Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />
526-1-1 x pollen parent 3020-3-1-1 in planned breeding<br />
program. Seed parent is characterised by loose growth<br />
habit, semi-double flower form and orange flower colour.<br />
Pollen parent is characterised by loose growth habit, semidouble<br />
flower form and violet flower colour. Selection<br />
criteria: large, floriferous, fully double flowers. Selection<br />
was done at Pan American Seed, Elburn, IL, USA during<br />
1997. Propagation: by vegetative tip cuttings, no off types<br />
occurred in at least three successive vegetative generations<br />
during the selection process and in numerous vegetative<br />
generations since selection. ‘Balfiecobl’ will be<br />
42<br />
commercially propagated by vegetative tip cuttings.<br />

Choice of Comparators ‘Salmon Sunrise’ A syn Fiesta<br />
Salmon Sunrise A and ‘Tropical Orange’ A syn Fiesta<br />
Tropical Orange A were initially considered for the<br />
comparative trial as these are similar varieties of common<br />
knowledge. However, ‘Tropical Orange’ A syn Fiesta<br />
Tropical Orange A was later excluded due to its different<br />
flower colour (RHS 32A). ‘Salmon Sunrise’ A syn Fiesta<br />
Salmon Sunrise A was finally chosen as the sole comparator<br />
for its similar plant habit and flower colour. The parents<br />
were not considered for the trial for the reasons stated<br />
above.<br />
Comparative Trial Location: Winmalee, NSW, Jan – Mar<br />
2001. Conditions: trial conducted in poly house, rooted<br />
cuttings (propagated from stock plants grown at Winmalee)<br />
potted in Jan into 150mm standard pots in commercial<br />
potting mix, nutrients supplied by slow release and liquid<br />
feed fertiliser applications, plant protection treatments<br />
applied as necessary. Trial design: 15 pots of each variety<br />
arranged in a completely randomised design.<br />
Measurements: taken from each plant in the trial.<br />
