Moraea MM 21-246

Seed parent: MM 17-10a (M. tripetala x calcicola) X ('Zoe' offspring x atropunctata)
Pollen parent: MM 15-60a (villosa x tulbaghensis) x (villosa x tulbaghensis)

Hmmmm, this is a cross between two spotted hybrids, which I would expect to produce a spotted flower. Also, the flower looks a lot like a hybrid with M. neopavonia, which is not in the ancestry of this cross. So I wonder if maybe it's a stray seed.
