Moraea MM 13-197

Seed parent: Moraea lurida

Pollen parent: Moraea villosa form H














Wow. Usually hybrids with M. villosa look mostly like villosa, but not this one. The cup is orange with maroon veins and very short hairs, the eye is mostly black with a little spot of yellow. The tepals have fairly prominent purple veins. This is one weird-looking flower.

MM 13-197a. 



MM 13-197b. A clearer golden cup with black speckles, and even more prominent veins. This is one weird flower.



This one is growing in the same spot as 13-197b, but I think it may be a different plant.


MM 13-197c. Like form a, but with more yellow in the inner tepals, and the tepal tips are rolled differently.

MM 13-197d. Huge, very dark maroon inner tepals.


MM 13-197e. Wow, look how dark the eyes and inner tepals are in this flower!
