Abstract

A new variety of hybrid Oriental lily plant having large upright-facing flowers particularly characterized by their generally pink coloration with deeper pink midribs and with the outer tepals having very much ruffled margins, the flowers in general being of excellent form and long persistence both on the plant and as cut flowers. The large size and substance and the upright to semi-upright orientation of the flowers of this variety, in combination, is completely new in the Oriental hybrid divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation.
