Moraea MM 22-43

Seed parent: MM 18-09d (M. bellendenii X (aristata x (neopavonia x atropunctata)) x ((neopavonia x atropunctata) x (aristata x (neopavonia x atropunctata))) Probably; see below.
Pollen parent: MM 18-322a (tripetala x villosa) X ((aristata x villosa) x neopavonia 'Sunrise')

The cross record for this one says the seed parent is 18-08d, but I have no other record of a bloom from that cross. I think the seed parent is actually 18-09d, given the other crosses I made at the same time, and the photos of that plant.

MM 22-43a. This is a really nice hybrid -- pure white tepals, bright yellow eyes, precise black edges. And it doesn't fade in the sun. Plus it's pretty vigorous, as you can see below because it had two flowers open at the same time.
