Abstract
Oriental lily Star Queen was bred by crossing between Oriental lily Star Gazer characterized by a dark pink flower colour and spotted petals and the faint pink Oriental lily Marco Polo in 1997. It was first selected as seedling in 2001. Second and third selection for a range of characteristics (2002-2003) and bulb production (2004-2005) was carried out followed by a test for flower production (2006-2007). The flower has a bright white/pink colour and purple spots.
The flower has a medium size, it is semi-upright and with an umbrella shape.
Because of short and wide leaves it can be planted at high densities.
The natural flowering period was during the last ten days of June, it is an early-medium maturing cultivar, 2 weeks shorter than Oriental lily Siberia. There are no cultivation problems under appropriate standard ventilation, fertilization, water management and weekly disease and insect pest control (leaf blight, aphid).
