Moraea MM 22-144

Seed parent: Moraea gigandra
Pollen parent: Moraea insolens

Oh, boy, this was my favorite new hybrid of 2026. These flowers are mostly orange, which is what usually happens when I cross a purple species with an orange one. But there is a subtle purple wash over parts of the flower, and in form B you can see a white aura around what I guess I should call the eye. These flowers appear to be fertile, and I can't wait to see what their next generation will look like.
