Abstract
A new variety of lily plant bearing outfacing to semi-upright flowers particularly characterized by their pure white coloration, their exceptionally large size and their tepals having frilled and fluted margins. These characteristics, together with their outfacing to semi-upright orientation, provide 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, is an excellent garden plant, and the bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut flower production.
