Abstract
A new variety of hybrid Oriental lily plant bearing large, upright to semi-upright flowers particularly characterized by their clear pink coloration on a broad white background, the flowers being of excellent form and long persistence both on the plant and as cut flowers. The very large size and substance of these flowers and their upright to semi-upright orientation is a combination that is completely new in the Oriental hybrid divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The plant is highly resistant to disease and shows tolerance of virus, it is an excellent garden plant, and its bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut flower production.
