I wanted to get a yellow flower with the villosa color scheme, but so far that hasn't happened. Instead I got an interesting hybrid.
MM 12-44a. There are some unusual things going on here. The tepals are ivory colored, but there's a bright yellow-orange blaze in the middle of the flower. The blue eye is smaller than I'd like, and instead of being a clear blue it's mixed with the orange color, making it kind of greenish. Usually the eye spots don't mix with the background color, so this is an interesting effect. A couple of other hybrids this year had similar color patterns even though they had very different parentage.
