Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Bayfrank is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the Bijoux cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,241) was pollinated by an unnamed seedling formed by the crossing of the Fleur cultivar (non-patented in the United States) by the Delta cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,815). More specifically, the new cultivar forms attractive relatively large anemone pink-purple flowers having a darker flower center (as illustrated). The inflorescence tends to assume a generally flat capitulum form when mature. The response period of the flowers is approximately eigh weeks. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a cut anemone spray under greenhouse conditions.
