Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Lily plant named ‘Sunny Okinawa’, characterized by its upright and compact plant habit; vigorous growth habit; densely-foliated habit; freely flowering habit; upright flower buds; white-colored flowers; and good postproduction longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Lilium L.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sunny Okinawa’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lily plant, commercially known as Oriental Hybrid Lily, botanically known as Lilium L., and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunny Okinawa’.
The new Oriental Hybrid Lily plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Wieringerwerf, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new compact and dense potted Oriental Hybrid Lily plants with large flowers, attractive flower coloration and good postproduction longevity.
The new Oriental Hybrid Lily plant originated from a cross- pollination in 2001 of a proprietary selection of Lilium L. identified as code number XB-275P, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Lilium L. identified as code number XA-413P, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Oriental Hybrid Lily plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant from within the resultant progeny of the cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Wieringerwerf, The Netherlands in July, 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily plant by bulb scales in a controlled greenhouse environment in Wieringerwerf, The Netherlands since November, 2005, has shown that the unique features of this new Oriental Hybrid Lily plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily 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 ‘Sunny Okinawa’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunny Okinawa’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Oriental Hybrid Lily plant:
    • 1. Upright and compact plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Densely-foliated habit.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Upright flower buds.
    • 6. White-colored flowers.
    • 7. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection primarily in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily are more compact than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily have narrower leaves than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection primarily in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily are larger than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily are more freely flowering than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily can be compared to plants of Oriental Hybrid Lily ‘Souvenir’, not patented. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily differ from plants of ‘Souvenir’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily are more densely foliated than plants of ‘Souvenir’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily have larger flowers than plants of ‘Souvenir’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily have white-colored flowers whereas plants of ‘Souvenir’ have light pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily can also be compared to plants of Oriental Hybrid Lily ‘Mona Lisa’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,379. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily differ from plants of ‘Mona Lisa’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily are more densely foliated than plants of ‘Mona Lisa’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily and ‘Mona Lisa’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Mona Lisa’ have light pink-colored flowers.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily plant, 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 Oriental Hybrid Lily plant. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunny Okinawa’ grown in a container.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants that were grown during the spring in a glass-covered greenhouse in Wieringerwerf, The Netherlands and under cultural conditions typically used in Oriental Hybrid Lily production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures were about 15° C., night temperatures were about 18° C. and light levels were about 6,000 lux. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were six months old when the photograph and description were taken. 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.
