Abstract
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of New Guinea Impatiens plant having the cultivar name Creek, discovered by me in a commercial greenhouse in Fremont, Calif. Creek has a growth habit that is typical of a New Guinea pot variety and is similar to USDA Arabesque, and a foliage color similar to Mikkel Red Magic but is particularly characterized by bright red-green foliage that grows in richness under high light; a bright pink flower color with slightly darker eye; verses Red Magic which is dark red-rose and Arabesque which is candy-striped; a moderate flower size and average number of flowers; and the chief distinction of having good flower to foliar color contrast.
