Pollen parent: Moraea gigandra
The seed parent is a pale orange flower with a huge blue eye, while the pollen parent is purple with a narrow blue eye and dark center. I was hoping that crossing pale orange and purple would give me some crazy reddish color, but instead this flower has pale almost-white tepals, a blue eye, and an orange-yellow center with leopard markings. The tepals are very narrow.
I really enjoy getting surprises like this from the hybrids.
MM 11-18a. Maybe when its siblings bloom, some of them will have more radical colors.
