Moraea MM 18-316

Seed parent: M. neopavonia 'Summerfield'
Pollen parent: villosa form o

MM 18-316a. These photos aren't the greatest quality, but the flowers are a nice rich orange flushed with a bit of red.


The color is pretty intense when the flower opens (left bloom), but it fades over time (right flower).

My records say this is also form a, and the shape of the flower matches, but if it's form a then it's very faded.

MM 18-316c

Here's a sibling. Similar color, but note the wider/shorter inner tepals.
