Pollen parent: MM 18-339 (polystachya x (lurida x villosa))
I have tried scores of times to cross M. polystachya with other Moraea species and hybrids. So far, the only cross that produced a definite hybrid was MM 12-52 (M. polystachya x speciosa). Most of the other crosses didn't produce seeds, but in about 20 cases they did. All of those seedlings, when grown to flowering, have been identical to M. polystachya. I strongly suspect that they are all self-pollinated polystachya clones, but just in case I have been crossing some of the "hybrids" together to see if anything hybrid-like emerges. So far those second-generation crosses have all looked like pure M. polystachya as well.
Case in point...
MM 22-261a. Nothing happening here, move along.
