Pollen parent: Moraea atropunctata
The parents:
The seed parent is a vigorous villosa-like flower that doesn't fade in the sun. In this cross I was hoping to mix that vigor with the spots of M. atropunctata. Although the hybrids have a few spots, they mostly look like M. villosa with a dark center, with one exceptional surprise that you'll see below. (The flowers below, are all from this cross, were grown by Garry Knipe under the label GK 1329.)

GK 1329_1. Similar to the flower above, but with a few spots.
GK 1329_3. Wow. This flower is just spectacular. I have no idea where this color scheme and the unusual double line around the eye came from.
Here are some seedlings from that cross that I grew:
MM 13-81a. I'm not sure about this cross – it doesn't appear to have any M. atropunctata characteristics at all. I do like the thick yellow band around the eye, though.
MM 13-81b
MM 13-81c

Garry gave me an offset of that corm, and I've been trying to use it in crosses. So for nothing has worked, so I am also repeating the original cross.
