  • Patent number: PP9794
    Abstract: A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large outfacing to upfacing flowers of excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut-flowers. The flowers of the new plant are particularly characterized by their large size and substance, their wide open-bowl form, their outfacing to upfacing orientation, their ascending pedicels, and particularly by their golden yellow coloration, with a flush of deeper gold to orange-gold along the basal midribs and with small, soft red to peach papillae. This combination is completely new in the Oriental and Oriental/Aurelian hybrid lilies. The variety is highly resistant to fusarium disease and shows tolerance of virus. The bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut-flower production under a wide range of light and temperature conditions. The plant is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.

  • Patent number: PP11636
    Abstract: A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large outfacing to upfacing flowers of excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut-flowers. The flowers of the new plant are particularly characterized by their large size and substance, their starry flower form, their lightly ruffled outer tepals, their outfacing to upfacing orientation, their ascending pedicels, their yellow coloration with a deeper flush of rich yellow along the basal midribs, and their inconspicuously colored papillae. This combination is completely new in the Oriental and Oriental/Aurelian hybrid lilies. The bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut-flower production under a wide range of light and temperature conditions. The clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.
