A new and distinct variety of Oriental Hybrid lily plant substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its large, upwardly and outwardly facing flowers borne on strong stiff pedicels, by the substantially overall rosy pink coloring of the sepals and petals which are bordered by a frilly marginal band of white, and by the profuse production of flowers which have a long lasting quality whether on the plant or as cut flowers.
