Lily plant named `Fire Pixie`

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large clusters of flowers particularly characterized by their vivid orange to orange-red coloration and their comparatively inconspicuous spots, the flowers being of medium size, excellent form and borne with an upright orientation. The plant itself is of short stature with moderately long and full leaves which, with its upright prolific flower production, makes it especially suitable as a pot plant variety; its color pattern and silhouette being completely new in the upright Asiatic divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The plant is also highly resistant to disease and shows a 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.

I claim: 
     
       1. The new and distinct variety of Asiatic hybrid lily plant and parts thereof substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its orange to red-orange flowers with their inconspicuous ring of tiny spots encircling the center of the bloom; by its versatility both as a garden plant and as a pot plant variety suited for forcing into flower out-of-season; and by its short stemmed and abundantly leaved, upright-flowering silhouette.
