Seed parent: Moraea villosa form F
Pollen parent: Moraea tulbaghensis with blue eye

GK 1321. This cross was raised by Garry Knipe from seeds I shared with him. Some of his seedlings are blooming a year earlier than mine; he is an excellent gardener. This flower was just opening when I visited Garry's place. As you can see, the eye is green.

MM 13-25b. Nice colors. It's too bad the flower is cupped (a typical problem with tulbaghensis hybrids).

I haven't given a letter to this one. It looks very much like Garry's plants.
