Moraea MM 17-35

Seed parent: MM 13-139a (M. bellendenii X (gigandra x (atropunctata x neopavonia)) )
Pollen parent: MM 12-109a (tripetala small purple form X neopavonia with blue eye)

This cross combines a strangely-marked orange flower with a peachy-orange hybrid. I was disappointed that I didn't get more color variations, but I am intrigued by the concentric rings of color in this one:

MM 17-35a



Note how the tips of the inner tepals swirl around in a counterclockwise direction:

MM 17-35b
