Abstract

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

Description

Botanical designation: Lilium hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘TINY MISSILE’.
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 hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Tiny Missile’.
The new Oriental Hybrid Lily plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in 't Zand, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new potted Oriental Hybrid Lily plants with erect flowers, attractive flower coloration and good postproduction longevity.
The new Oriental Hybrid Lily plant originated from a cross-pollination in 2004 of two different unnamed proprietary seedling selections of Lilium hybrida, not patented. The new Oriental Hybrid Lily plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the resultant progeny of the cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in 't Zand, The Netherlands in May, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily plant by bulb scales in a controlled greenhouse environment in 't Zand, The Netherlands since November, 2007 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 and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 Missile’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Tiny Missile’ as a new and distinct Oriental Hybrid Lily plant:
    • 1. Compact and upright plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Densely-foliated habit.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Upright flower buds and flowers.
    • 6. Dark red-colored flowers.
    • 7. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily differ primarily from plants of the female parent seedling selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily have longer leaves than plants of the female parent seedling selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily flower earlier than plants of the female parent seedling selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily have smaller flowers than plants of the female parent seedling selection.
    • 4. Flowers of plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily are more upright than flowers of plants of the female parent seedling selection.
Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily differ primarily from plants of the male parent seedling selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily and the male parent seedling selection differ in flower bud color.
    • 2. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily have smaller flowers than plants of the male parent seedling selection.
Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily can be compared to plants of Oriental Hybrid Lily ‘Tiny Hope’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,239. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily differ from plants of ‘Tiny Hope’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily are more compact than plants of ‘Tiny Hope’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily have larger leaves than plants of ‘Tiny Hope’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily and ‘Tiny Hope’ differ in flower bud color.
    • 4. Plants of the new Oriental Hybrid Lily have smaller flowers than plants of ‘Tiny Hope’.
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 ‘Tiny Missile’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants that were grown during the spring in 15-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in 't Zand, The Netherlands and under cultural conditions typically used in Oriental Hybrid Lily production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 15° C., night temperatures averaged 18° C. and light levels averaged 6,000 lux. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were 60 days 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.
