Moraea MM 21-399

Seed parent: GK 1511 (M. villosa)
Pollen parent: MM 13-41a (villosa b X h)

Here are a couple of nice M. villosa selections. There's so much subtle variation in this species that you could breed them full time and not run out of combinations. Note the subtle veins in the upper flower, the rich orange central cup, and he dark blue eyes edged in darker color.

There are less prominent veins in this one, the tepals are lighter, and the central cup is yellow-orange. The eyes are very nice blue, with a green outer edge. And check out the inner tepals, which extend out like gently twisted daggers.
