Lily plant named `Lemon Pixie`

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid lily plant having an average height of less than eighteen inches and bearing large clusters of medium sized, upright flowers distinguished by their lemon yellow coloration which is accented by a "ring" of small, deep magenta spots surrounding the center of each flower, the flowers being of excellent form and long persistence. This plant has abundant foliage comprising moderately long and full leaves which, together with the short stature of the plant and its upright flowers, make it especially suitable as a pot plant variety. This plant is highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus, making it an excellent garden plant, and the bulbs of this plant when dug may be precooled and forced throughout the year for pot plant production, the clone being vigorous and a good grower and propagator.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Asiatic hybrid lily, substantially as herein shown and described, particularly distinguished by the unique color pattern of its flowers which are characterized by a ring of deep magenta spots surrounding the center of the flower, and the excellence of its flower form; the plant has a vigorous growth habit with rapid natural propagation; and its short stemmed, abundantly leaved and upright flowering silhouette as a pot plant specimen.
