Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of lily plant named Mediterrannee, characterized by its medium pink base flower color, with lighter pink near the edges and a darker red-purple near the base and midvein, downwardly reflexing flower tips, relatively long stems, and its floriferous habit.
Description
The present inventiton comprises a new and distinct cultivar of lily, botanically known as Lilium, commercially known as Lilium oriental hybrid, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Mediterrannee. The parents were oriental varieties belongong to division VII(b) described in "Classification of Lily Cultivars into Divisions" published by Victoria Mathews, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (1989).
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program which had the primary objective of creating new lily cultivars having intense purple flower color, while at the same time retaining other traits necessary or desirable for cut flower production.
The new cultivar was originated from a hybridization made by the inventor in a controlled breeding program in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands in 1981. Both the male and female parents were unnamed seedlings.
The new cultivar was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by the inventor in July 1981 in a controlled environment in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands.
The first act of asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was accomplished by the inventor when scales were taken from the initial selection in 1985 in a controlled environment in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands.
Horticultural examination of selected units has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for Mediterrannee are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The new cultivar 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, without, however, any variation in genotype. The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Wageningen and Rijnsburg, 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 the new cultivar which in combination distinguish this lily as a new and distinct cultivar.
1. Base flower color is medium pink, with a much lighter pink toward the edges, and a substantially darker red-purple near the base and along the midvein;
2. Tips of flowers reflex strongly downwardly;
3. Floriferous habit.
The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical flower characteristics of the new cultivar, with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type. The photograph comprises a front perspective view showing fully and partially open flowers and buds at various stages. When flowering is forced under natural light, Mediterrannee produces an inflorescence approximately 9 days earlier than Stargazer, under the same growing conditions. Mediterrannee is fertile.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) Colour Chart. The color values were determined at Wageningen in 1988 and at Rijnsburg in July 1991.
