Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Lilium plant named ‘Miss Lucy’, characterized by its erect and strong flowering stems; vigorous growth habit; double flowers; white and pink-colored flowers; and good postproduction longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Lilium hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Miss Lucy’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lilium plant, botanically known as Lilium hybrida, commercially used as a cut flower Oriental Lilium, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Miss Lucy’.
The new Lilium is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventors in Kaiapoi, New Zealand. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new cut flower Lilium cultivars with double flowers.
The new Lilium originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventors in Kaiapoi, New Zealand, of two unnamed selections of Lilium hybrida, not patented. The new Lilium was discovered and selected by the Inventors as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Kaiapoi, New Zealand.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by bulb scaling in a controlled environment in Kaiapoi, New Zealand, since 1996, has shown that the unique features of this new Lilium are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Miss Lucy have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Miss Lucy’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Miss Lucy’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Erect and strong flowering stems.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Double flowers.
    • 4. White and pink-colored flowers.
    • 5. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Lilium can be compared to plants of the cultivar Marco Polo, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,322. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Kaiapoi, New Zealand, plants of the new Lilium differed from plants of the cultivar Marco Polo in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lilium had double flowers whereas plants of the cultivar Marco Polo had single flowers.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Lilium did not develop reproductive structures whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar Marco Polo developed reproductive structures.
Plants of the new Lilium can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Acapulco, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,313. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Kaiapoi, New Zealand, plants of the new Lilium differed from plants of the cultivar Acapulco in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lilium flowered later than plants of the cultivar Acapulco.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lilium had double flowers whereas plants of the cultivar Acapulco had single flowers.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Lilium did not develop reproductive structures whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar Acapulco developed reproductive structures.
    • 4. Plants of the new Lilium and the cultivar Acapulco differed in flower color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Lilium, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Lilium.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering stem of ‘Miss Lucy’ without flowers.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Miss Lucy’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants of the new Lilium grown in Kaiapoi, New Zealand in a glass-covered greenhouse in ground beds. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 2 to 22° C., night temperatures ranged from −3 to 18° C. and light levels averaged 15,000 lux. Plants used for the photographs and description were about six months old. The photographs and the description were taken during January and February. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
