Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Asiatic Hybrid Lily plant named ‘Tiny Invader’ characterized by its small to medium plant size; vigorous growth habit; freely flowering habit; orange-colored tepals with purple-colored random spots that are slightly recurved; and good postproduction longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Lilium hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Tiny Invader’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Asiatic Hybrid Lily plant, botanically known as Lilium hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Tiny Invader’.
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 1996 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 Invader 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, 1999.
Asexual reproduction of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily by bulb scales in a controlled environment in 't Zand, The Netherlands since November, 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Asiatic Hybrid Lily are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Tiny Invader’ 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 Invader’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Tiny Invader’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Asiatic Hybrid Lily:
    • 1. Small to medium plant size; vigorous growth habit.
    • 2. Freely flowering habit.
    • 3. Orange-colored tepals with purple-colored spots that are slightly recurved.
    • 4. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily differ from plants of the parent selections primarily in plant height as plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily are taller than plants of the parent selections.
Plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily can be compared to plants of the Asiatic Hybrid Lily cultivar Orange Pixie, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,792. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in 't Zand, The Netherlands, plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily differed from plants of the cultivar Orange Pixie, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily had broader leaves than plants of the cultivar Orange Pixie.
    • 2. Plants of the new Asiatic Hybrid Lily had larger and flatter flowers than plants of the cultivar Orange Pixie.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
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 Invader’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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 plants that were about two months-old and 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.
