Lily named Pink Pixie

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid lily plant of short stature, about eighteen inches, bearing large clusters of flowers particularly characterized by their deep pink, cream-centered coloration borne upright in a compact raceme arrangement and comprising from five to nine buds. The short stature of this plant, its moderately long and full leaves, and its medium sized, upright flowers make it especially suitable as a pot plant variety. The color pattern and silhouette of this new plant are completely new in the upright Asiatic divisions of lilies suited to forcing for mass commercial cultivation. The plant is highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus, which makes it an excellent garden plant; and the bulbs may be precooled and forced throughout the year for pot plant production.

I claim: 
     
       1. The new and distinctive variety of Asiatic hybrid lily and parts thereof, substantially as herein shown and described, particularly characterized by the deep pink principal coloration of the tepals with a cream-colored throat portion in the center of the flower, and by its short, abundantly leaved silhouette.
