Moraea MM 21-177

Seed parent: MM 18-91a (M. bellendenii x aristata) X (atropunctata x calcicola) X (villosa x tulbaghensis)

Pollen parent: MM 15-89b ((villosa x tulbaghensis) X villosa)

This cross combined two spotted flowers, one pale orange and the other yellow.

MM 21-177a. Very nice. I like the hypnotic dot pattern and orange blaze. I wish the eyes were blue.

Moraea MM 21-170

Seed parent: MM 18-329c  (M. loubseri x ((atropunctata x neopavonia) x (atropunctata x calcicola))) X villosa form o

Pollen parent: MM 18-62a (bellendenii x aristata) X ((aristata x villosa) x neopavonia 'sunrise')

I crossed a deep purple flower with a butter yellow one, wondering what would happen. So far I'm not sure what to make of it.

MM 21-170a. This one looks a lot like the pollen parent.

MM 21-170b. I don't know where the orange came from.

Moraea MM 21-168

Seed parent: MM 15-24 (M. bellendenii X villosa form d)

Pollen parent: MM 15-24 (M. bellendenii X villosa form d)

Theoretically, this cross between siblings ought to express some interesting recessive genes from the two species.

MM 21-168. I guess this counts as interesting.

A sibling, not so intresting.

Moraea MM 21-167

Seed parent: MM 18-88 (probably M. bellendenii)

Pollen parent: MM 18-234a  (M. bellendenii x (gigandra x (atropunctata x neopavonia))) X ((villosa x tulbaghensis) x sibling)

This is a cross between a yellow flower and a brick red one, hoping for a vivid red. But I got orange.

Moraea MM 21-161

Seed parent: MM 18-62 (M. bellendenii x aristata) X ((aristata x villosa) x neopavonia 'sunshine')

Pollen parent: MM 18-21d ((aristata x villosa) x bellendenii) X (villosa x (atropunctata x neopavonia))

MM 21-161a. A weird little flower, mustard yellow with a reddish tinge.

Moraea MM 21-158

Seed parent: MM 15-80b (M. atropunctata x calcicola) X neopavonia 'Summerfield'

Pollen parent: MM 15-60a (villosa x tulbaghensis) X (villosa x tulbaghensis)

MM 21-158a. This is a very nice orange hybrid. Not what I was expecting, but welcome nonetheless.

Moraea MM 21-157

Seed parent: MM 18-312a ((M. atropunctata x calcicola) x (villosa x tulbaghensis)) X ((villosa x tulbaghensis) x villosa form d)

Pollen parent: MM 13-89d ((villosa x tulbghensis) x villosa)

MM 21-157a. Looks a lot like the seed parent.

MM 21-157c
