Pollen parent: Moraea villosa h
Crosses between tulbaghensis and villosa have produced some of my most interesting hybrids, and this is another good example.
MM 13-69a. I like the orange tepals, and the flower has unusual light eyes. What would you call that eye color? Pale orange? Gray?
MM 13-69b. Wow! That magenta blaze on an orange background is eye-catching.
This is the same selection, believe it or not, in very different lighting.
MM 13-69c. This one is a nice rosy pink color.

MM 13-69d. A lighter pink.
MM 13-69e. Another one with weird light green eyes.
MM 13-69f. This flower is more strange than classically beautiful. The eye is a curious yellow-green shade, and the colors on the tepals are kind of muddy. But it's very interesting, and I wonder what it could do with further breeding.
