Impatiens plant named Waltz

#The present invention relates to a new and distinctive cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens, and known by the cultivar name Waltz. Waltz was developed by me through controlled breeding by crossing a cultivar identified by the breeding number 121-12-A1 as the seed parent with a cultivar designated 158-11-A as the pollen parent.

#Asexual reproduction by terminal or stem cuttings taken by applicant as Mishmar Hashiva, Israel has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens are stabilized and are reproduced true to type in successive propagations.

#The following characteristics distinguish the new Impatiens from both its parent varieties and other cultivated Impatiens of this type known and used in the floriculture industry:

#The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of this cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in a colored reproduction of this type.

#The photograph at the top is a top perspective view showing a substantial area of a typical plant in bloom.

#The bottom photograph is an enlarged showing of a single flower, with the unique flower form being readily visible.

#The following is a detailed description of my new Impatiens cultivar based on plants produced under commercial practice in Mishmar Hashiva, Israel. The description was made in the winter and in the early spring.

#Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
