Hybrid lily plant named Sun Pixie

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large clusters of flowers of large size and excellent form particularly characterized by their rich orange coloration, accented by a golden orange band along the midrib. This plant is of short stature, about fourteen to eighteen inches in height, and has an abundant foliage of medium sized leaves, and a vigorous growth habit. The moderately short stature of the plant, its full leaves, and its large sized flowers make 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 highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus. It is an excellent garden plant and the bulbs may be precooled and forced throughout the year for pot plant production.

I claim:

The new and distinctive variety of Asiatic hybrid lily plant and parts thereof, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its relatively short stature and its large, rich orange flower coloration, the tepals of the flowers being accented by a light colored orange midrib band.
