Moraea MM 21-171

Seed parent: Moraea villosa F
Pollen parent: MM 13-41a 'Bonnie' (villosa B X villosa H)

This is basically a villosa species cross, but involving several colors of flower. I was hoping for a flower with the white tepals of the seed parent combined with the beautiful blue eye of the pollen parent. As often happens, I got the exact opposite. Oh well.

MM 21-171a. I admire the nice uniform leopard spots in the central cup, but they make me wonder because neither parent has a spotted cup. I have never tried to track whether spots in the cup are a dominant characteristic. I think I need to start paying attention to that.
