Geranium plant named `Fisplosive`

#The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium, zonale l'Hert, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Fisplosive.

#Fisplosive is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new geranium cultivars with pink flower color, dark green foliage, and single or almost single flower form.

#Fisplosive was originated from a hybridization made by inventor Ingeborg Schumann in a controlled breeding program in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain in 1989. The female parent was the patented cultivar Fiswig, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,385, and having single red flowers and dark green leaves without or with very weak zonation. The male parent of Fisplosive was the commercial cultivar Kristall, characterized by its light violet semi-double flowers and medium to light green foliage without zonation.

#The accompanying color photographic drawing shows typical flower and foliage charcteristics of Fisplosive, with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type.

#In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. The color values were determined indoors in May from plants grown indoors in Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany.
