Moraea MM 21-411

Seed parent: MM 18-334a ((M. villosa x tulbaghensis grn) x villosa D) X ((villosa x tulbaghensis grn) x villosa D)
Pollen parent: MM 18-334b ((M. villosa x tulbaghensis grn) x villosa D) X ((villosa x tulbaghensis grn) x villosa D)

M21-411a. The offspring of two very nice hybrids, this is a dandy flower. My only disappointment is that it's small, I will definitely breed more with it in the future. (And I also want to get a photo of it that's not chewed-on and about to close.)


Moraea MM 21-407

Seed parent: MM 14-146d (M. villosa x tulbaghensis grn) X villosa D

MM 21-391a


MM 21-391b. This is another one with a nice crisp ring around the eye.


MM 21-391c. I like the yellow hairs overlapping the blue eye.

MM 21-391d. Wow! Even more distinctive than form b.






Moraea MM 21-390

Seed parent: MM 18-91d (M. bellendenii x aristata) X ((atropunctata x calcicola) x (villosa x tulbaghensis grn))
Pollen parent: MM 18-344b (M. villosa B x villosa D) X ((aristata x villosa) x neopavonia sunrise)

MM 21-390a. Not the most spectacular flower overall, but I love the dreamy yellow-blue color gradient in the eye.
