A few years ago I started playing around with cross-breeding some Moraeas. Some of the crosses were failures. (For example, M. polystachya is so self-fertile that I just bred more of the same. I'll try putting tinfoil hats on the flowers next.) But in the meantime, my first successful Moraea hybrids have just started to bloom. The most interesting is M. atropunctata x M. calcicola. The seed parent (atropunctata) gives the flower freckles, but M. calcicola turns those freckles purple. It's kind of cool. You can see photos of them here: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… s Mike San Jose, CA (where it looks bright and sunny, but the wind feels like the inside of a refrigerator)
