Moraea MM 14-01

Seed parent: Moraea tripetala

Pollen parent: Moraea neopavonia 'Summerfield'














Weird! The flower has much of the shape of M. tripetala, and those polka dots in the center are from Moraea neopavonia, but where's the eye?

MM 14-01a


The spotted eyes are so interesting that I almost didn't notice the beautiful magenta color of the inner tepals.


MM 14-01b. Very similar to form a, but the inner tepals are shorter and darker.
