This cross combined two hybrids that resemble M. loubseri physically but have burnt orange shades blended with loubseri's purple. I wondered what would happen when I brought them together.
The results were pretty diverse. Let's start with a couple of group photos...
MM 17-38a. I'm not sure why I singled out this one for a letter.
Here are some others without letters. I'm very intrigued by this first one. The color is bright, the central cup has some of
loubseri's intense hairiness but is a much lighter color, and there's a subtle wash of purple on top of the orange that looks pretty interesting.
