Pollen parent: Moraea gigandra
Frustration.
These flowers look very intriguing; they are more deeply colored than the typical villosa x gigandra crosses. But the plants were very weak this year, with the flowers wilting as they opened. I don't know if that was a problem with my potting soil or with the plants themselves.
I've had some potting soil problems, so I'll repot these in the summer and see if they do better next year.
In the meantime, check out the possibilities...
MM 11-24a. Intense colors and a bright orange center make this one appealing, of only it'd fully open.
MM 11-24c. Wow, a huge orange center and almost no eye. This might turn out to be a nice flower if I can get it to grow properly.
