Moraea MM 21-177

Seed parent: MM 18-91a (M. bellendenii x aristata) X (atropunctata x calcicola) X (villosa x tulbaghensis)
Pollen parent: MM 15-89b ((villosa x tulbaghensis) X villosa)

This cross combined two spotted flowers, one pale orange and the other yellow.

MM 21-177a. Very nice. I like the hypnotic dot pattern and orange blaze. I wish the eyes were blue.




Moraea MM 21-170

Seed parent: MM 18-329c  (M. loubseri x ((atropunctata x neopavonia) x (atropunctata x calcicola))) X villosa form o
Pollen parent: MM 18-62a (bellendenii x aristata) X ((aristata x villosa) x neopavonia 'sunrise')

I crossed a deep purple flower with a butter yellow one, wondering what would happen. So far I'm not sure what to make of it.

MM 21-170a. This one looks a lot like the pollen parent.

MM 21-170b. I don't know where the orange came from.
