Abstract

A new hybrid Asiatic lily plant of the chalice type bearing large clusters of medium sized flowers of strong color, excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as potted plants, this plant being distinguished by having reddish stems and excellent foliage, the flowers having broad petals of fine substance, the buds displaying an orange color prior to opening and the flowers being characterized by a rich brilliant orange color which is very lightly spotted.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
My new lily cultivar originated as a seedling selected from a group of seedlings produced at Sandy, Oreg., and resulting from my crossing of the variety "Harmony"×"Sunspot" (unpatented), as the seed parent, with the variety "Charisma" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,180), as the pollen patent, my objective being to produce upright Asiatic lilies in the orange color range which have a high tolerance to virus infection, reliability and rapidity of forcing performance. This particular seedling was selected for propagation because of its single, strong, reddish stem with abundant foliage of deep green color, and its excellent flower form with broad petals of fine substance and a brilliant orange color which persists over a long period of time.
This selected seedling was asexually propagated by me and under my direction through successive generations at Sandy, Oreg., by bulb scale techniques and by means of bulblets and this propagation has demonstrated that the novel characteristics derived from the original seedling hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
My new Asiatic lily cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows in full color the foliage, buds, and a fully opened flower, the color rendition being as nearly true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
The following is a detailed description of my new lily cultivar as observed at Sandy, Oreg., with color designations according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart and with nomenclature according to the International Lily Register (Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 2nd edition, 1969).
