Pollen parent: Moraea tulbaghensis with blue eye
The seed parent is pale orange with a huge blue eye. M. tulbaghensis has a similar color scheme, but is darker orange and has a smaller eye. I think I was hoping for a bright orange flower with a huge blue eye.
MM 11-65a. I'm partway there. The flower's darker orange than the seed parent, but a bit lighter than I'd prefer. And M. tulbaghensis has made the flower a bit cupped and small. But I think this one is worth further breeding..
