Moraea MM 11-69

Seed parent: Moraea MM 03-07B ((M. atropunctata x neopavonia) X villosa F)

Pollen parent: Moraea tripetala (pale blue form)














Here we have a blue-purple flower crossed with a pale orange one that has freckles on the back. The result is, naturally, a striped flower!

I have no idea how the genetics of that works, but it's fascinating to see the sort of diversity you get out of these multispecies crosses.
