ABSTRACT:
A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large upright-facing flowers of excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut flowers. The flowers of the new plant are particularly characterized by their pink coloration shading into a wide solid red band at the midrib, their large size and heavy substance, their "flat-faced" form, created by broad tepals which recurve only at the tips, their upright to semi-upright orientation, the sharply ascending pedicels of the upper flowers, and the long buds. This combination is completely new in the Oriental Hybrid divisions of the lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The variety is highly resisant to fusarium disease as well as botrytis. The bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut-flower production. In comparison to the most of other Oriental varieties, the bulbs of this new hybrid lily can be stored in a cooler for a longer time and still produce excellent cut-flower stems when forced into flower out of season. The clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.
