Moraea MM 21-165

Seed parent: MM 18-91 (M. bellendenii x aristata) X ((atropunctata x calcicola) x (villosa x tulbaghensis)
Pollen parent: MM 13-89a (villosa x tulbaghensis) X villosa

I need to do more work on this one. The seed parent is a pale orange flower with no eye and a lot of spots, while the pollen parent is one of my most colorful hybrids.

When crossed, the spots disappeared (not surprising since they are usually recessive), but the flower colors are also extremely uninspiring. If I can get more than one of this cross to bloom, I will do a sibling cross between them to see if I can get more color and pattern variation.
