Abstract
A new variety of hybrid lily plant particularly characterized by having large clusters of flowers distinguished by their rich orange-red color tone and a virtual lack of spotting, characteristics which are new in the upright Asiatic divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The flowers of this plant are of excellent form, strong color, and long persistence both on the plant and as cut flowers.
The plant is highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus, it is an excellent garden plant, it is very vigorous, is a good grower and propagator, and the bulbs may be precooled and forced for 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 clonal cultivar "Sunstar" (unpatented) and the clonal cultivar "Connecticut King" (unpatented) in the course of my breeding efforts carried on since 1975 with the object of producing spotless upright Asiatic lilies in the shades of orange and orange-red and well suited to forcing for out-of-season cut flower production, a combination of features heretofore unknown in the lily breeding art.
This new variety of lily plant 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 have demonstrated that the novel and distinctive characteristics of this new variety are fixed and hold true under asexual propagation from generation to generation.
As demonstrated by successive generations of asexual propagations of this new lily plant, the clone possesses to a high degree the desirable characteristics of hybrid vigor, great hardiness, and disease resistance, as observed in western Oregon. The flowers are produced as a raceme on a single stalk, having an upright orientation, and maintain the desired characteristics of excellence of form, color and habit. The suitability of the new plant for out-of-season forcing is demonstrated by the fact that October-dug bulbs, properly precooled and potted in January, will flower under glass, in western Oregon, with no supplementary lighting and moderate greenhouse temperatures in an average of eighty to eighty-five days.
My new variety of lily plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows buds and foliage with a group of flowers in full bloom which illustrate the flower form and tepal arrangement, one of the blossoms having been hand-painted to show the true colors of the distinctive orange-red character of the blossoms as herein specified.
The following is a detailed description of my new variety of Asiatic lily plant as observed in greenhouse at Sandy, Oreg., with nomenclature according to The International Lily Register, Second Edition, of The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England, the color designations being according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society in 1966.

This new variety of Asiatic hybrid lily most nearly resembles the variety `Matchless` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,879), but the new plant has larger flowers with broader and more recurved tepals, thicker tepals, and lightly ruffled tepal margins. Also, the flower color is more mellow than that of "Matchless".
