Moraea MM 21-239
Seed parent:
MM 18-91a
(M. bellendenii x aristata) X ((atropunctata x calcicola) x (villosa x tulbaghensis))
Pollen parent:
MM 18-333a
((villosa x tulbaghensis) x villosa form d) X (tulbaghensis x villosa form h)
These flowers look a lot like
MM 21-236
, and I suspect they are actually stray seedlings from that cross.

Very interesting color pattern in the eyes.
Moraea MM 21-231
Seed parent:

(probably
M. bellendenii
)
Pollen parent:
M. longiaristata
form b
This is one of only a few successful crosses I've had with this form of
M. longiaristata
. The flowers in this case look like a pale orange form of
longiaristata
.

I crossed a spotted flower with a reddish one, hoping for a spotted red flower. It hasn't happened yet, but the flowers are still interesting.
MM 21-228a
Here's a sibling.

Judging from their looks, these are probably self-pollinated.

A cross between a mauve-red flower and a yellow flower, hoping for brighter red. Nope.
