Abstract
A new variety of a hybrid lily plant bearing semi-upright flowers of excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut-flowers. The flowers of the new plant are characterized by their red coloration, and by small, inconspicuous papillae surrounded by a small golden area encircled by red coloration at the base of each tepal. This combination is completely new in the Asiatic hybrid divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The variety is highly resistant to botrytis disease and shows high tolerance to virus. The bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut-flower production.The clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.
