Guzmania plant named Guinn

#The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Guzmania, botanically known as Guzmania hybrida, and referred to by the cultivar name Guinn. The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program carried out by the inventor Herbert Henry Hill, Jr. in Lithia, Fla. The cultivar was discovered by him from the progeny of the stated cross. The male parent is an unnamed cultivar of Guzmania lingulata, and the female parent is a likewise unnamed cultivar of Guzmania wittmackii. Both parents are publicly available.

#Asexual propagation by division was performed in Lithia, Fla. by the inventor to increase the number of plants for evaluation, and such propagation has clearly demonstrated the stability of the combination of characteristics of Guinn from generation to generation.

#The following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Lithia, Fla. under greenhouse conditions which closely approximate those generally used in horticultural practice.

#The accompanying color photographic drawing shows typical characteristics of Guinn with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type.

#Origin: Seedling.
