A OTO intersectional hybrid lily cultivar 'Flash Party' was developed in 2011 at National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS), Rural Development Administration (RDA), of Korea. The cross was made between female parents Lilium OT intersectional hybrid 'Avocado' and male parents L. Oriental hybrid 'Acapulco' in 2005. Preliminarily selection was done as 'OTO-08-03' in 2008. Multiplication and bulb formation, and characteristic tests were conducted from 2008 to 2010. The evaluation of this line was performed and named as 'Flash Party(NIHHS line No:Wongyo C1-113)' in 2011. 'Flash Party' flowers in the middle of June and grows average 131 cm. It flowers fragrance, semi-upward-facing, red and light yellow color (RHS, R47A+Y8C) with the size of flower 21.5 cm. Mean outer-petal length and width is 15 cm and 4.7 cm, respectively. Leaves are 20 cm long and 3.3 cm wide, respectively. The weight and size of bulb is 65.3g and 18 cm, respectively. Year-round flowering can be by storing the bulb under –1.5 °C conditions. For forcing culture, it is necessary to add calcium to the fertilizer or remove side scales to prevent leaf scorch. It is needed to control Botrytis disease in wet season.
