Abstract
A new and distinct lily cultivar of the Oriental hybrid type characterized by its very large, somewhat upward facing, oval shaped flowers with an unusual and distinctive color pattern, the midrib of each flower tepal being colored a rich red-purple color which suffuses outwardly through a light pink to a pure white margin, each tepal being copiously marked on each side of the midrib with maculae of red-purple color over the middle 12 cm. of each tepal.
Description
This new variety of lily plant originated as a seedling of unknown parentage discovered by me at my nursery in Arcata, Calif. Its large and richly colored flowers, in combination with its vigorous growth habit, prompted me to propagate this seedling for further evaluation. Initial propagation was done by me by bulb scale propagation, which proved to be sufficiently successful to warrant continuous propagation through successive generations under my direction at Arcata, Calif., by bulb scale propagation, natural propagation from bulblets and division, and tissue culture propagation from bulblets and division, and tissue culture propagation originating from bulb scales. The successive generations have demonstrated that the novel and distinctive characteristics of my new variety of lily are fixed and hold true under asexual propagation from generation to generation.
During the course of my evaluation of this new seedling, it has demonstrated that the distinctive characteristics of this plant make it a valuable addition to the commercial propagation of this variety for the production of cut flower lilies. Also, I found that this plant retains its large flower size and good bud color when forced into flower out-of-season from bulbs which have been dug at the proper stage of maturity and properly precooled, the performance being very reliable even during periods of relatively low light.
This new variety of Oriental lily is illustrated in the accompanying photographic drawing which, in the upper view, shows a face view of a typical flower and the lower view shows a silhouette of a group of the flowers, both views illustrating the large, richly colored, bowl-shaped flower form, the color rendition being as nearly true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of my new variety of Oriental hybrid lily, with nomenclature according to The International Lily Register (The Royal Horticultural Society, London, 1969) and with color designations according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published in 1966. These observations were made on field grown plants at Arcata, Calif., in the summer of 1985.

Form.--The tepals are generally ovate with the inner tepals averaging about 5 cm. wide and the outer tepals about 3 cm. wide. The inner tepals overlap slightly.
Color.--Each tepal has a band of Red-Purple color, RHS 58A-B (occasionally 57B), along the tepal midrib which shades gradually into a light Rose Bengal, 57D, approaching the tepal margins. The inner tepals have a white margin about 5 to 6 mm. wide and the outer tepals have a white margin about 2 to 4 mm. wide and the tepal margins may be lightly frilled. The nectaries are green with a yellow margin about 2 to 4 mm. wide and the very conspicuous papillae are of a 58A-B coloration.
Tepal longevity.--The tepals stay on the stem about two to three weeks.
Color change.--The color fades slightly and becomes more brown as the flower ages, or in intense light and heat. Under cool conditions, the color is richer and is retained longer.
Pedicel:
Length.--About 7 to 8 cm.
Color.--Dark green.
Character.--Ascending at an angle of about 45° from the stem.
Disease resistance: The flower and plant are adequately resistant to disease as observed in northwestern California and in western Oregon.
