Moraea MM 20-154

Seed parent: MM 15-80b (M. atropunctata x calcicola) X neopavonia 'Summerfield'
Pollen parent: MM 12-67f (villosa selection)

This is a cross between a white hybrid and a reddish form of M. villosa. I don't remember exactly what I was hoping to get from the cross, maybe a pinkish flower? Instead I got a strong rich orange. The plant is nice; I like the intensity of the colors and the wide inner tepals. But it's definitely not what I expected.
