Hybrid Asiatic lily named Daydream

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid lily plant characterized by bearing large clusters of flowers having a cream/peach-pink bicolor pattern, and a complete lack of any spotting, the flowers being of medium size with excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut flowers. This combination is believed to be completely new in the upright Asiatic division of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The plant has a height of about 90 to 100 cm. with a vigorous, upright growth habit and abundant foliage. The plant is highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus, which makes it an excellent garden plant. The bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut flower production producing clones each of which is vigorous and a good grower and propagator.

I claim:
