Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'Cal Orngise' originated from a cross pollination conducted in Gilroy, California, USA in July 2006. The female parent was a proprietary seedling with apricot coloured flowers, designated 1511-1, and the male parent was a proprietary seedling with light orange flowers, designated 717-1. The resultant seed was collected and sown in a greenhouse in Gilroy in January 2007. A single plant was selected from the progeny in April 2007, based on criteria for flower colour, flower size, good branching characteristics, plant growth habit and continuous free-flowering.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Cal Orngise' were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2011 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 30 cm hanging baskets on May 11, 2011. Each basket contained 4 cuttings with a total of 5 baskets per variety. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 29, 2011. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
