Abstract

A new hybrid Asiatic lily cultivar particularly distinguished by the orange red and golden orange coloring of the tepals of its medium sized blooms and by its very bushy and lush foliage borne on a single erect stem which bears a large number of buds and flowers.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This new variety of lily plant originated as a seedling resulting from the crossing of an unpatented clone of "Byam's Ruby"×"Golden Chalice", as the seed parent, with "Red Carpet" (unpatented) as the pollen parent, which was done by me at Sandy, Oreg., with the object of producing new Asiatic lilies having improved flower color, a vigorous and strong plant habit, and a growth habit genetically short enough for pot culture without chemical treatment. This particular seedling was selected for propagation because of its very unusual coloration and its apparent vigorous, strong and upright growth habit, and asexual propagation was done by me and under my direction through several successive generations at Sandy, Oreg., by means of bulb scales, bulblets and division, the successive generations demonstrating that the novel and distinctive characteristics of the parent plant hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
This Asiatic lily cultivar is illustrated in the accompanying photographic drawing which, in the upper portion, shows a face view of a fully opened flower, and in the lower portion the view illustrates a potted arrangement of stems showing flowers, bulbs and foliage of the new variety, both views being partially hand painted on black-and-white prints in order to show the true colors of the new flowers.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following is a detailed description of my new Asiatic hybrid lily cultivar with color designations according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society at London, England, and with nomenclature according to The International Lily Register (Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 2nd edition, 1969).
