Lily named Peach Pixie

Abstract

A new variety of lily plant of short stature bearing large clusters of upright, medium sized flowers of excellent form particularly characterized by their deep peach-pink, gold accented coloration and by their virtual lack of spots. The short stature of this plant and its medium sized, upright flowers make it especially suitable as a pot plant variety. The plant is fully clothed with moderately long leaves and its color pattern provides a lily plant silhouette that is completely new in the upright Asiatic divisions of lilies suited to forcing and mass commerical cultivation. The plant is highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus, making it an excellent garden plant, and its bulbs may be precooled and forced throughout the year for pot plant production. Also, its clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinctive variety of Asiatic hybrid lily, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its virtually unspotted, gold accented, deep peach-pink flowers and by its short stemmed, longer, and more abundant leaves and an upright flowering silhouette; this plant has a high resistance to disease and a high tolerance to virus; its vigorous growth habit and rapid natural propagation together with its versatility both as a garden plant and as a pot plant variety make it well suited to forcing into flower out of season from properly precooled bulbs.
