Abstract
A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large upfacing flowers of excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut-flowers. The flowers of the new plant are particularly characterized by their medium pink coloration, their white-edged green nectaries, their deeply colored papillae, their lightly ruffled margins, their large size and substance, their completely upfacing orientation, and the upwardly curving pedicels of the lower flowers. This combination is completely new in the Oriental hybrid divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The variety is highly resistant to fusarium disease and shows tolerance of virus. The bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut-flower production. The clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.
Description
My new variety of lily plant originated as a seedling which first flowered in Woodland, Wa., in 1987. The breeding efforts had as their objective the production of large-flowered completely upfacing Oriental hybrids in a variety of shades of pink, with deeply pigmented papillae, suited to forcing into flower out of season, heretofore unknown in the lily breeding art.
I achieved the desired objective by intercrossing unnamed upright and semi-upright Oriental seedlings which carried pink flower color and were also suited to forcing for yearround use as cut-flowers.
The unnamed Oriental seedlings which were the parents of `Pink Paramount` were produced by me, from a series of crosses among seedlings which were selected in my fields from large seedling populations of my own crosses. The original crosses came from material unique to my own breeding lines and not available in the trade. the field-selected seedlings were genetically very diverse, and 100 seedlings were selected from their outstanding vigor, stem length, pink flower color, and upfacing or semi-upfacing flower orientation. These were forced into flower under glass, and the 25 seedlings which showed the best forcing performance were then randomly intercrossed to produce a large quantity of seed. This seed was grown to flowering size, producing a large population of seedlings, from which the best 100 were again selected for vigor, stem length, pink flower color, and upfacing or semi-upfacing flower orientation. These were subsequently tested for their forcing performacne, and `Pink Paramount` was selected as one of the seedlings best suited for forcing as a cut-flower.
The flowers of my new lily are characterized by a completely upfacing orientation, large size, unusually thick substance, lightly ruffled tepal margins, and a distinctive medium pink coloration accented by white-edged green nectaries and by deep pink papillae, a combination unique among Oriental hybrid lilies. The pedicels of the lower flowers emerge from the stem at an angle only slightly ascending, with a sharp upward curve about 5 to 8 cm from the base of each pedicel. These uniquely curved pedicels minimize the breaking off of the buds during their handling as cut-flowers. The variety possesses unusally strong, stout stems. In addition, the clone possesses to a high degree desirable characteristics of hybrid vigor. The clone is a good grower and propagator, as observed at Woodland, Wa.
My new variety of lily plant has been asexually reproduced by me and under my direction at Woodland, Wa. Successive generations produced by natural propagation from bulblets, by bulb scale propagation, and by tissue culturing from bulb scale explants have demonstrated that the novel and distinctive characteristics of my new variety are fixed and hold true under asexual propagation from generation to generation.
My new variety of lily plant is illustrated in the accompanying photographic drawing, which shows the open bloom in full color and illustrates the flower form, the tepal arrangement, and in particular the novel and distinctive completely upfacing medium pink flowers with lightly ruffled tepal margins, white-edged green nectaries, and deep pink papillae, and also the unique curvature of the pedicels of the lower buds and the ascending pedicels of the upper buds, which minimize bud breakage during handling of the cut-flowers.
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 of London, Second Edition, 1969), and with color designations according to the Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, published by the Society in 1966.
