Pollen parent: Moraea gigandra (with pointed tepals)
The parents:
Moraea gigandra usually has rounded tepals, so I was intrigued when this pointy form showed up one year. Unfortunately, the flower has never returned, and the pointy shape was not passed on to its descendants.
This particular cross looks a lot like the seed parent, but villosa sometimes does that to a genuine hybrid. I do really like the green rim around the blue eye, although I wish the green color was brighter. This flower was raised by Garry Knipe from seeds I bred.
MM 11-89a. This is the first seedling of this cross to bloom at my place. It looks a lot like the seed parent.
