Abstract

A new lily plant named Menton particularly characterized by its soft orange flower color, good forcing, very short exterior and interior petals, and its very narrow, elliptical leaves.

Description

The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of lily, botanically known as Lilium (Asiatic hybrid), and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Menton.
Menton is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new lily cultivars with better forcing properties.
Menton was originated by me from a hybridization made in a controlled breeding program in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands beginning in 1982. The female parent was the variety known as Avignon, disclosed in a pending application of applicant. The male parent of Menton was a cultivar identified as G.692.
Menton was discovered and selected by me as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in June 1984 in a controlled environment in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands.
I accomplished the first act of asexual reproduction of Menton by scaling bulbs of the initial selection in August 1984 in a controlled environment in Rijnsburg. Horticultural examination of selected units initiated in April 1987 has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for Menton are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Menton has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length. The following observations, measurements, and comparisons describe plants grown in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of Menton which in combination distinguish this lily as a new and distinct cultivar.
1. Its soft orange color.
2. Good forcing characteristics with a soft forcing-time.
3. Interior and exterior petals very short in length, average in width.
4. Its leaves are very narrow in width, short to average in length and narrow, elliptical in shape
The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical flower characteristics of Menton, with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type.
