Lily plant: Lilium Golddigger

Abstract

A new variety of Asiatic hybrid lily plant bearing large clusters of large flowers of excellent form, unusual color, and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut flowers. The plant is characterized by an improved capability of being forced into flower under glass, increased resistance to leaf scorch and bud abortion, improved inflorescence, buds of an intense yellow color, and flowers which also are of an intense yellow color and characterized further by the presence of relatively thick, broad, and overlapping tepals lightly spotted with tiny pigmented papillae.
