Pollen parent: MM 12-160a (bellendenii X loubseri)
This is weird. The flowers look a lot like M. villosa, but that species is not involved in this cross at all. The pollen parent is pale violet, with a very disrupted eye courtesy of M. bellendenii. The seed parent is pale orange. Neither of them have the big round eye we see here, or the hint of a pale ring around the eye.
Maybe the cross was mislabeled, or maybe Moraea genetics are more complex than I expected. Or both.
MM 17-105a
