Moraea MM 21-363

Seed parent: MM 13-149c ((M. atropunctata? x neopavonia) x gigandra) X (villosa x tulbaghensis)
Pollen parent: MM 15-80b (atropunctata x calcicola) X neopavonia

MM 21-363a. I like this one a lot. It reminds me of MM 10-02, which is one of its grandparents. But the immediate parents of this cross were white and pale purple, so how they yielded an orange flower is a bit of a mystery. I thought orange was a dominant characteristic.
