Moraea MM 11-33
Seed parent: Moraea MM 99-00a
Pollen parent: Moraea gigandra
Pedigree: (atropunctata x neopavonia) X gigandra
I have high hopes for this cross: a purple flower crossed with pale orange could produce a wide range of colors. But the plant wasn’t happy this year and barely produced a single misshapen flower (probably due to a bad batch of potting soil). In this situation you can't really judge the flower color because poor health can change the color.
Hopefully it’ll grow better next year, when I get it into fresh soil, and then we can see what the flowers really look like.
