Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Asiatic Hybrid Lily plant named ‘Tiny Ghost’ characterized by its medium to large plant size; vigorous growth habit; freely flowering habit; red purple-colored tepals that are slightly recurved and ruffled at the apex; and good postproduction longevity.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Lilium hybrid Tiny Ghost.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Asiatic Hybrid Lily plant, botanically known as Lilium hybrid, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Tiny Ghost’.
The new Asiatic Hybrid Lily is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in 't Zand, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new potted Asiatic Hybrid Lily plants with erect flowers, attractive flower coloration and good postproduction longevity.
The new Asiatic Hybrid Lily originated from a cross-pollination in 1995 of an unnamed proprietary Asiatic Hybrid Lily, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed proprietary Asiatic Hybrid Lily, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Tiny Ghost was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the resultant progeny of the cross-pollination in a controlled environment in 't Zand, The Netherlands in May, 1998.
Asexual reproduction of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily by bulb scales in a controlled environment in 't Zand, The Netherlands since November, 1998, has shown that the unique features of this new Asiatic Hybrid Lily are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar ‘Tiny Ghost’ has 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 ‘Tiny Ghost’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Tiny Ghost’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Asiatic Hybrid Lily:
-
- 1. Medium to large plant size; vigorous growth habit.
- 2. Freely flowering habit.
- 3. Red purple-colored tepals that are slightly recurved.
- 4. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily differ from plants of the parent selections primarily in tepal coloration and plant height.
Plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily can be compared to plants of the Asiatic Hybrid Lily cultivar Crimson Pixie, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,557. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in 't Zand, The Netherlands, plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily differed from plants of the cultivar Crimson Pixie, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily were taller than plants of the cultivar Crimson Pixie.
- 2. Plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily had larger flower buds than plants of the cultivar Crimson Pixie.
- 3. Plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Crimson Pixie.
- 4. Plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily and the cultivar Crimson Pixie differed in flower coloration.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Tiny Ghost’ grown in a container.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe two month-old plants grown in 't Zand, The Netherlands under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse. Plants were grown at a minimum temperature of about 15° C. and the average daylength was about 14 hours. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. The photograph and the description were taken during the early summer.
