I crossed a reddish flower with a mauvey flower, and the result was purpley-mauve flowers.

Moraea MM 15-94
Seed parent: Moraea calcicola
Pollen parent: MM 11-17a
I like the pale orange ring around the eye.
It's curious that a cross of two purple flowers turned out white. I love the little purple streaks coming out of the tip of the eye in the one below.

Gladiolus MM 15-83
Seed parent: MM 11-21d
Pollen parent: Gladiolus patersoniae
A marvelous cross! Each plant has a different mix of pastel colors. These flowers have the height and bud count of G. tristis, making them twice the size of many of my other Glad hybrids. I feel like this is the right direction for my Gladiolus breeding.

MM 15-83b
MM 15-83c
MM 15-83e. Wow, this has a very nice color and very complex markings.
MM 15-83f. Beautiful pale peach upper tepals with thin purple veins, and a huge splash of strawberry red below. When I first saw this one I nicknamed it "strawberry surprise." I am extremely pleased with it.
MM 15-83g. Another fantastic flower, even more vivid than its sibling above. If that one is "strawberry surprise," then this one must be "cranberry surprise."
MM 15-83h
The flowers open with a bit more yellow on the lower tepals (top flower), and then it fades gradually (lower flowers).
Here are a couple of other flowers from this cross

Moraea MM 15-81
Seed parent: Moraea villosa form b
Pollen parent: MM 10-02c
I was hoping for some very stripey, colorful flowers.
MM 15-81a. This one has some speckles.
MM 15-81b. I like the reddish-peach mottled coloring of this one.

Moraea MM 15-78
Seed parent: Moraea neopavonia with blue eye
Pollen parent: Moraea villosa form g
As usual, the offspring look mostly like M. neopavonia. The second generation crosses should be more diverse.
MM 15-78a
MM 15-78b. This one has a little bit brighter colors.
MM 15-78c
I haven't given a letter to these yet.

Moraea MM 15-75
Seed parent: Moraea aristata
Pollen parent: MM 11-30b
MM 15-75a. I crossed a white flower with a yellow flower, and so of course I got a purple flower.
These are both labeled form A, but I am not sure. Look at the difference in the ring around the eye.
MM 15-75d. I think I mislabeled this one.

Moraea MM 15-73
Seed parent: Moraea villosa form F
Pollen parent: Homeria species
I doubt there’s any Homeria in these plants.

Moraea MM 15-68
Seed parent: MM 09-02a
Pollen parent: MM 11-140a
15-68a. Even though this flower has diverse parentage, the orange-yellow color scheme of M. tulbaghensis dominates its look.

Moraea MM 15-64
Seed parent: Moraea ‘Zoe’ offspring
Pollen parent: Moraea bellendenii
I had high hopes for combining a flower with lots of stripes with a flower that does strange things to the eyes of the flowers. The result, so far, has been more weird than beautiful.

Moraea MM 15-63
Seed parent: Moraea bellendenii white form
Pollen parent: Moraea neopavonia ‘Summerfield’
Check out MM 15-05, which has similar parentage.
MM 15-63a. Once again M. bellendenii messes with the eye of a hybrid. In this case, the eye is still present, but there are strange pale streaks in it.
