Abstract

A new and distinct lily hybrid named `Ceb Wine` characterized by upright, large rose colored flowers with thick petals on tall, strong stems excellent for cut flower production.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of lily hybrid, referred to commercially as a longiflorum-Asiatic Lily Hybrid, referred to by the cultivar name `Ceb Wine`.
This invention is the product of a controlled breeding program in Aurora, Ore. The seed parent was an unnamed seedling identified as 79-186. This seed parent has not been released and was kept proprietary. The pollen parent was PAM #2, another proprietary non-released plant.
The longiflorum-Asiatic cross is relatively new to the trade. This type of cross was originally made to create colored Lilium longiflorum hybrids. Instead, due to the difficulty in crossing back to L. longiflorum, the plants that were developed had to be crossed with Asiatic lilies. As such, the results look more like Asiatic lilies. The resulting hybrids often have several advantages, not necessarily in combination, over an Asiatic lily: (1) often larger flowers; (2) often larger, waxier leaves; (3) hybrid vigor; (4) lower susceptibility to scorch; (5) excellent flower texture and substance; (6) more virus resistance; (7) new and clearer colors; and (8) stronger, sturdier stems.
This invention has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. This phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length, without, however, any variation in genotype. The following traits have been repeatedly observed in asexually propagated progeny and are determined to be the basic characteristics of this invention which in combination distinguish this lily as a new and distinct cultivar: (1) large, upright, clear rose pink flowers with a small, creamy white center; (2) thick tepals which strongly overlap; (3) large pink buds; (4) tall, strong stems; (5) scorch resistance; and (6) early bloom time. Bulbs of this plant may be precooled and forced out of season for very uniform cut flower production.
To the inventor's knowledge, there are no other longiflorum-Asiatic lily hybrids with this color flower suitable for cut flower forcing on the market.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety has been initially and subsequently accomplished at Cebeco Lillies, Inc. in Aurora, Ore., by scaling and tissue culture. The resulting plants have shown that the above-mentioned unique features are stable and reproduce true to type in each successive propagation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 is a photograph showing the `Ceb Wine` lily.
FIG. 2 is a close-up photograph which illustrates in greater detail a single flower of the new plant.
The photographs of the drawing were taken in August 1993 in a studio and illustrate the typical flower and foliage form, with color being as true as is reasonably possible in this type of color photograph.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The following is a detailed description of the invention based on plants produced under commercial practices in the Cebeco Lilies, Inc. greenhouses in Aurora, Ore. in July 1993.
