Anemone Hybrida FP007 Double Flower and Prolonged Blooming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Anemone cultivars lack continuous flowering seasons, double flower structures, and significant foliage, with limited tepal count and color variation, which restricts their horticultural appeal and adaptability.
Innovation Solution
The cultivar 'FP007' of Anemone hybrida, characterized by continuous flowering from mid-June to fall, double flowers with 45 tepals, broad flower buds, and large foliage, offering enhanced violet coloration and adaptability to varying environmental conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If existing Anemone cultivars are used, then they have simpler flower structures with fewer tepals, but they lack continuous flowering seasons and have limited horticultural appeal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and propagating a mutant plant that naturally exhibits altered parameters including increased tepal count (45 vs. typical 7), extended flowering duration (mid-June to fall vs. typical single-season), and modified flower structure (double vs. single). These parameter changes resolve the contradiction by simultaneously achieving both higher tepal quantity and prolonged flowering duration that are not present in parent or commercial varieties.
2Shape
If existing Anemone cultivars are used, then they have single flowers with fewer tepals, but they lack double flower structures and visual complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The double flower structure is achieved through segmentation of the floral whorls, creating multiple layers of tepals (45 total) arranged in complex patterns. This segmentation transforms the simple single-flower structure into a multi-layered double flower, increasing visual complexity and aesthetic appeal without compromising the fundamental flower function.
3Area of stationary object
If existing Anemone cultivars are used, then they have smaller foliage, but they lack large foliage and overall plant vigor
Solution Approach 1:
The plant exhibits self-service characteristics through its vigorous growth habit, producing large foliage and continuous flowers without requiring intensive cultural care. The plant maintains itself well in garden conditions, providing both aesthetic value and structural presence through its substantial foliage mass that serves as a permanent landscape feature.
