Origin & Breeding History: 'Bondrelaipi' originated from a controlled pollination conducted in December 2005, in New South Wales, Australia between the female parent, propriety seedling '05-15' and the male parent, propriety seedling '05-8'. The initial selection was made in August 2006. Selection criteria included flower size, growth habit, foliage size, and stem length.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Bondrelaipi' were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2011 at Bioflora Inc., in St. Thomas, Ontario. Trials included 15 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 11.5 cm pots on May 9, 2011. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on July 11, 2011. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
