Moraea MM 22-197
Moraea MM 22-162
Seed parent: MM 19-66b ((M. villosa x tulbaghensis) x villosa form d) X ((villosa x tulbaghensis) x villosa form d)
22-162b
MM 22-162c
Pollen parent: MM 18-333c ((villosa x tulbaghensis) x villosa d) X (tulbaghensis x villosa h)
MM 22-162a. This one is splendid. The pollen parent has a color pattern similar to this, but in a very cupped flower. I wanted to get the same pattern on a flat flower. For once, I got exactly what I wanted.
Moraea MM 22-157
Seed parent: MM 19-132a (Moraea unknown X (((atropunctata x calcicola) x gigandra) x (villosa x tulbaghensis))
Pollen parents: MM 18-334a ((villosa x tulbaghensis) x villosa d) X ((villosa x tulbaghensis) x villosa d)
MM 22-157a. Lovely. Very rich purple color, including the tips of the style crests, and a nice hairy edge to the eye.
Moraea MM 22-146
Seed parent: MM 19-26b ((M. atropunctata x calcicola) x neopavonia) X Moraea unknown
MM 22-146b. These flowers are mangled, but look at the beautiful blue and purple color patterns.
MM 22-146d
Pollen parent: MM 15-110a (longiaristata form a X thomsiae)
This cross is special in several ways. First, it is the only successful hybrid I've ever made with 15-110a, despite many tries. Second, the pollen parent is an incredible orange and blue spotted hybrid, so I was interested to see what it would do as a parent. And third, hey, look at how cool these flowers are.
MM 22-146a. Very nice streaks that look like watercolor paint.
MM 22-146c
Moraea MM 22-145
Seed parent: MM 19-26c ((M. atropunctata x calcicola) x neopavonia) X Moraea unknown
Pollen parent: MM 19-65a (M. neopavonia X ((atropunctata x calcicola) x villosa form d))
MM 22-145a. This is a very handsome orange flower, and I am also very happy to see the return of the silver-gray eye color, which first showed up in one of the grandparents of this cross.
Moraea MM 22-126
