Lilium `La Claridad`

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large upfacing flowers of excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut-flowers. The flowers of the new plant are particularly characterized by their light pink coloration with noticeably deeper pink tepal midribs, their inconspicuous white-edged green nectaries, their deeply colored papillae, their lightly ruffled margins, their large size and substance, and their completely upfacing orientation. This combination is completely new in the Oriental hybrid divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The variety is highly resistant to Fusarium disease and shows tolerance of virus. The bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut-flower production under a wide range of temperature and light levels. The clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.
