Moraea MM 19-118

Seed parent: MM 17-19a (M. lurida x (aristata x villosa)) X (tripetala x villosa form d)
Pollen parent: MM 15-136a (unknown parents)

MM 19-118a


Moraea MM 20-300

Seed parent: MM 17-10a (M. tripetala x calcicola) X ('Zoe' x atropunctata)
Pollen parent: M. calcicola

I think I was hoping to get more of an eye paired with the heavy dots of 17-10a. That didn't work, which is probably more evidence that spots on flowers are usually a recessive characteristic in Moraeas.

MM 20-300a

Moraea MM 19-53

Seed parent: MM 14-21b (M. villosa form h X tulbaghensis with green eye)
Pollen parent: MM 14-21a (M. villosa form h X tulbaghensis with green eye)

An attractive flower, but I was hoping for some weird recessive characteristics, which haven't shown up so far.
