Abstract
A new variety of Asiatic hybrid lily having large sized flowers of excellent form borne on a single stem in a compact raceme and particularly characterized by their unusual combination of yellow and gold color tones and by their widely spaced maculation, which extends across the base of the tepals, particularly the petals, from each side of the end portion of the nectary, providing a color pattern that is new in the upright Asiatic division of lilies. The flowers have a long persistence both on the plant and as cut-flowers and the plant itself is an excellent garden plant highly resistant to disease and showing high tolerance to virus. Its bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut-flower production and its flowers are produced in midseason, inbetween the flowering times of its siblings of similar appearance, so that it extends the season of cut-flower production.
Description
This new variety of lily plant originated as a seedling selected from a group of seedlings resulting from my crossing of the species Lilium wilsonii var. `flavum` and the cultivar Connecticut King at Sandy, Oreg., in the course of breeding efforts carried on by me since 1971 with the object of producing superior upright-flowering Asiatic lilies in shades of yellow and gold and suited to cut-flower production in a range of flowering times which would extend the cut-flower season. This seedling was selected for propagation because of the large size of its flowers, which have petals of thick texture and an unusual tepal color pattern, each yellow tepal being flushed with gold over its inner half and the rear portion of each petal, on each side of its nectary, is covered with medium to large-sized deep magenta spots. This selected seedling has been asexually reproduced by me and under my direction at Sandy, Oreg., and successive generations produced by bulb-scale propagation and natural propagation from bulblets has shown that the clone is vigorous and a good grower and propagator, having desirable characteristics of hybrid vigor, great hardiness, and a high degree of disease resistance, as well as all of the desired characteristics of form, color, and habit. These successive generations have also demonstrated that the novel and distinctive characteristics of this new variety hold true under asexual propagation from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
My new variety of lily plant is illustrated in the accompanying photographic drawing, which shows a three-fourth face view of an open bloom, together with several buds in various stages of growth, and illustrates the flowwr form and tepal shape and arrangement, the view having been hand-painted to show in particular the novel and distinctive yellow and gold pattern and its heavy maculation.
The following is a detailed description of this new variety of Asiatic hybrid lily with the color designations according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England, and with nomenclature according to The International Lily Register and The Royal Horticultural Society.

Borne: As a raceme with about 5 to 8 buds and flowers on a single stem.
Shape: Generally flat but slightly dished with tepals widely spaced angularly and having lightly recurved tips.
Tepalage:
Number.--Six.
Arrangement.--Hexagonal with petals angulated sixty degrees from and above the sepals.
Shape.--Generally ovate petals with broad mid-portion and acuminate end portion. Sepals are more slender.
Color.--The base color is Yellow, R.H.S 12 A-B, and each tepal has a flush of Gold, R.H.S. 21A, about 2 cm. wide and 2 cm. long extending along the tepal midrib from the end portion of the nectary; and the base portion of each petal adjacent the end of its nectary is heavily spotted with medium to large sized deep magenta maculae.
Color change.--As the flower ages, the color intensifies slightly and may become more golden toned under low light levels.
Longevity.--Tepals stay on the stem about three weeks.
Pedicels:
Length.--About 4 to 6 cm.
Form.--Sturdy and upright.
Color.--Medium green.
Fragrance: None.
Lasting quality: The flower is long lasting, both on the plant and as a cut flower.
Disease resistance: The flower and plant are resistant to disease, and in particular, they are resistant to Fusarium and Botrytis.
Stamens:
Number.--Six.
Arrangement.--Typical of genus Lilium.
Anthers:
Color.--Greyed Gold, R.H.S. 167A.
Filaments:
Length.--About 5 cm.
Color.--Ivory or yellow.
Pollen:
Color.--Greyed Gold, R.H.S. 167A.
Pistils:
Number.--One.
Length.--About 5 cm.
Stigma: Light plum to gold in color.
Ovary: Typical of genus Lilium.
Fertility: The fruit is fertile.
Shape: Ovoid.
Color at Maturity: Soft brown, sometimes overlaid with light plum.
This new variety of Asiatic hybric lily most nearly resembles the cultivar "Connecticut King" but it has much broader petals with heavy maculation, is much taller, and is superior for year around forcing. This new variety flowers somewhat later than "Connecticut King" but inbetween the flowering times of its siblings which have been selected for commercial cut-flower production, so the new variety broadens the cut-flower season for this type of lily.
