Moraea MM 12-06

Seed parent: Moraea ciliata tall blue
Pollen parent: Moraea macronyx

If I saw this in the garden I might assume it's just a color form of M. macronyx. But since M. ciliata was the seed parent, it has to be a hybrid. The brownish nectar guide on the outer tepal owes a bit to ciliata, and the plant is taller than typical macronyx. I need to see if I can get an F2 cross out of this one.
