Moraea MM 13-192

Seed parent: Moraea MM 03-98a (M. atropunctata X calcicola)

Pollen parent: Moraea "longiaristata" with few spots














I wanted to see what would happen if I mixed these two spotted plants, and the results were very interesting. If you look closely, you'll see the flower has both blue and pale pink spots/streaks. Unfortunately, it's small and didn't set seeds well (only one cross out of about six worked). But I'll keep trying, because it's a very distinctive looking flower.

MM 13-192a.
