Moraea MM 11-119

 Seed parent: MM 99-00a (atropunctata neopavonia)
Pollen parent: MM 03-98b (atropunctata calcicola)












An orange flower with dark center crossed with a pale purple flower. Mixing purples and oranges sometimes produces interesting shades of color, but in this case it also produces some dull off-whites.

MM 11-119a. Pale orange flower with a darker orange center. Although this flower looks elegant in the photo, in person it looks pretty dull, like a fallen leaf.

MM 11-119b. Violet with a bit of orange undertones to it, if you look closely. The eyes are nice and big; too bad they're so dark.


MM 11-119c. Sorry for the awful focus in this one. The flower is cream with an orange center.

MM 11-119d. Not spectacular, but I like the yellow center, and there are a few tiny dots scattered across the tepals.

MM 11-119e. Kind of a nice pale yellow shade. This flower was a bit beaten-down due to rain.


MM 11-119f. Paler yellow.
