Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea impatiens cultivar named `BFP-605 Orange` is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated `307` (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by the `Fiji` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,455). The new cultivar forms very large orange flowers that display an iridescent appearance. The foliage is medium green with reddish venation. An attractive medium upright mounded growth habit is exhibited. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the `Bonfire Orange` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,398).
