The development of a Modern plant does not always begin with a preconceived design . Or like Gerard Zwiers , brain of breeding at Schoneveld Breeding , says : “ You do not wake up up one day thinking : and now I am going to make something limited . ” The latest addition to the variety of Schoneveld Breeding is Super Serie Fusion . The narration of this extraordinary Cyclamen purpurascens depart in Japan .
“ The unique features of Super Serie Fusion occur of course in Japan , ” says Gerard . “ We came across it and considered it a great chance . We started to work on the development in 2012 . ”
Unique petalsGerard and his team aimed to rise a large - flowered Cyclamen with striking , two - toned flowers . Bringing together exactly the right features in one warm intersection was an interesting challenge . Super Serie Fusion Large reacts strongly to climate , which made development challenging . Gerard : “ If the climate is sub - optimum , you may find neon - colored flowers instead of bright colored . That was an important point to keep in mind . ”
Typical featuresIt was important to Gerard to persevere and evolve something unparalleled . “ You do not want to come with a intersection that already exists . We were looking for a two - toned , large - flowered Cyclamen that flower consistently . Additionally , the well - known Super Serie feature like uniformity in color and blooming needed to be sustain . ” The result is a Cyclamen that is almost very to grow of the current Super Serie XL in the Summer , Super Serie Fusion heavy colour atomic number 10 at first . After that , it grows into an oculus - backstop with characteristic two - tone flowers . Super Serie Midi is add to the series at a late level . This Cyclamen already gives the typical two - tone flower in the Summer and is naturalize similarly to the current Super Serie Allure .
Extensive trialsGerard explains that the basic genetic science are from Japan . After that , the squad develop it further in the Netherlands . After that , across-the-board trials took post in the warm climates of Israel and Italy . “ Typical about Super Serie Fusion Large is that the color is never completely clean . A characteristic like that is for us as breeder extra stimulant ” , says Gerard smile .
Future“I am majestic we were able to develop the first boastfully - bloom Cyclamen with this color type . And that the smaller midi ’s perform well in warm and light circumstances make it surplus merriment . We have many plan for the future , including introduce fresh colors and perchance different size . However , the current situation is already excellent .
