Abstract
A new and distinct lily cultivar of the Oriental hybrid type characterized by very large, pure white, bowl-shaped flowers having broad tepals of thick substance and borne as a compact raceme on strong, unusually thick stems and flowering profusely in midseason for Oriental lilies. This plant has abundant foliage, a vigorous growth habit, and is capable of being forced for potted plant cultivars.
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 pure white flowers in combination with its apparently vigorous growth habit prompted me to propagate this discovery for further evaluation. This plant was propagated by me and under my direction by several asexual propagation procedures, including bulb scale propagation, natural propagation from bulblets and division, and by tissue culture originating from bulb scales. Propagation by these methods carried on through several successive generations has demonstrated that the novel and distinctive characteristics of this plant are fixed and hold true from generation to generation.
My study of this new plant has demonstrated that its clones retain the unusually large flower size, early bud coloration, and broad leaves when forced into flower out-of-season, which can be done from bulbs which have been dug at the proper stage of maturity and properly precooled, with a reliable performance, even during periods of relatively low light.
My new variety of lily plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which, in the upper view, shows the distinctive broad leaf, mid-height silhouette of the plant with first opening flowers and a succession of buds on its relatively tall flowering stems; and the lower view shows a face view of a fully opened flower illustrating its bowl-shaped form and its broad, pure white inner tepals, together with a bud just prior to opening, 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.
