Lily plant named `Crimson Pixie`

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid lily plant having large clusters of flowers of excellent form and particularly characterized by their vivid red to red-orange coloration, broad tepals, and lack of spots. The plant is of short stature with moderately long and full leaves, and its upright flower orientation makes 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 and to mass commercial cultivation. This new plant is highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus, it is an excellent garden plant with blooms having long persistence, and its bulbs may be precooled and forced through the year for pot plant production.

I claim:
