Moraea MM 2024

Seed parent: Unknown

Pollen parent: Unknown

MM 2024a. This seedling popped up at random in one of my plant beds. I don't have any idea of its parentage, but it's an interesting flower because of all the streaks on the tepals.

MM 2024b. According to the plant label, this was supposed to be a color form of M. lurida. Although lurida is a very variable species, this flower doesn't match the descriptions (or the look) of any lurida form I've seen. I think it may be a hybrid involving M. villosa.

Whatever its parentage, I really like the look of the purple outer tepals and the orange inner tepals, and I hope to make crosses with it.
