Geranium plant named `BFP-788 Bright Scarlet`

Abstract

5The new and distinct Pelargonium×hortorum cultivar named `BFP-788 Bright Scarlet` is provided. This new Zonal Geranium was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated 1908-47 (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by a plant designated PAS 231-1-2 (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar forms attractive semi-double scarlet red florets. Medium green foliage is well retained during shipment. The growth habit is medium self-branching and does not require the use of a growth regulator.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct Geranium plant named `BFP-788 Bright Scarlet` substantiually as herein shown and described which: (a) exhibits attractive semi-double scarlet red florets,   (b) forms attractive medium green foliage, and   (c) exhibits a medium self-branching growth habit in the absence of the use of a growth regulator.
