Seed parent: MM 10-03b (M. gigandra X (atropunctata? X neopavonia))
Pollen parent: Moraea tripetala
Wow, this is a very interesting cross. One of the flowers is light purple, the other a rosier shade. You can see the M. atropunctata heritage in the flowers' crescent-shaped eye spots, and the dark pattern in the central cup. Neither of them looks much like M. tripetala.
MM 13-120a. I like the color of this one. It's a bit redder than the usual purple Moraeas.
MM 13-120b. The tepals on this one are especially wide, which I like.
Here are forms A and B together, so you can see the color contrast:
MM 13-120c. An interesting color variation: The outer tepals have turned mostly white, but the inner ones are yellow.
