BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar
of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthe mum>
FIG. 1 shows a plant of the cultivar in full bloom. FIG. 2 shows the various stages of bloom of the new cul tivar. FIG. 3 shows the various stages of foliage of the new cultivar. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The observations and measurements were gathered in May
2010 from plants grown in a greenhouse in Rij senhout, The Netherlands, in a photo-periodic controlled crop under con
ditions generally used in commercial practice. Five cuttings were planted in a pot with a diameter of 14 cm. The green

plants of the male parent in the following characteristics. (1). Plant vigor. And (2) In?orescence color. (1 ). Plants of the male parent are less vigorous than those of ‘Zanmubella’. (2). The in?orescences of the male parent are yellow. The new and distinct cultivar was discovered and selected
as a ?owering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by Wilhelmus Bernardus Blom in a controlled environment 2
(greenhouse) in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands in April 2004. The ?rst act of asexual production of ‘Zanmubella’ was
accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in June 2004 and propagated further in a
controlled environment in Rij senhout, The Netherlands. The new cultivar has been found to retain its distinctive charac
teristics through successive propagations, although the phe notype may somewhat vary with variations in environment
such as light intensity and temperature. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention of a new and distinct variety of
C. to 25.degree. C., and at night 20. Degree. C. The photo
average of eight long days. After this long day period growth
done on disease or insect resistance or susceptibility. No tests
were done on cold or drought tolerance. To show the pheno type as described ‘Zanmubella’ can be planted without
assimilation lighting (high pressure sodium lamps) between week 50 and week 40 of the next year under greenhouse conditions in the Netherlands. With assimilation lighting (minimum level 2500 lux) it can be planted all year round under greenhouse conditions in the Netherlands.
This new variety produces large sized blooms with bronze ray ?orets and a response time of 8 weeks. From the cultivars known to inventor the most similar
existing cultivar in comparison to ‘Zanmubella’ is ‘Vamp Time Bronze’ (US. Plant Pat. No. 15,710). When ‘Vamp Time Bronze’ and ‘Zanmubella’ are being compared the fol lowing difference is noticed: The difference of ‘Vamp Time Bronze’ and ‘Zanmubella’ are (1) In?orescence size. And (2)
Ray ?oret color. (1) The in?orescences of ‘Vamp Time
Chrysanthemum is shown in the accompanying drawings, the
Bronze’ are larger than those of ‘Zanmubella’. (2) The ray
color being as nearly true as possible with color photographs of this type.
?orets of ‘Vamp Time Bronze’ are more orange colored than
those of ‘Zanmubella’.
