RAY FLORETS: ligulate type, moderately ascending attitude of basal part, upper surface with two keels, very short to short corolla tube, flat to weakly convex in cross section at widest point, flat to weakly revolute margin, revolute part at distal half, straight at longitudinal axis with weak reflexing at distal quarter, ray florets at inner row with weak incurving along longitudinal axis, incurving at distal quarter, dentate tip, inner side yellow (RHS 2A-B), outer side yellow green (RHS 2C).
Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'Synwil Yel' originated from a naturally occurring whole plant mutation of the parent variety 'Wilma'. The variety was discovered and selected by the breeder in November 2006 in Alva, Florida, USA. Selection was based on criteria for flower colour and plant habit.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Synwil Yel' were conducted in an outdoor irrigated trial during the summer of 2010 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants of each variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 20 cm pots on June 29, 2010. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on September 29, 2010. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
