Hi, gang. If you don't like hybrids, move on to the next message. I've written up the 2014 results from my Moraea breeding experiments. This year I had several new flowers with stripes and spots, the closest thing yet to a red flower, some interesting pastels, and the usual odd color combinations. You can see photos here: http://growingcoolplants.blogspot.com/2014/04/… l (I'll be gradually getting this info loaded into the wiki, but I put it up on my own blog first because it's easier.) If you haven't heard the background on this project, I've been growing Moraea species for years, and I'm passionate about preserving them in cultivation. But after a while you get most of the species that are available, and you no longer have new things to look forward to each year. So I started trying to create Moraea hybrids, focusing mostly on the "peacock" flowers and their relatives (members of the old subgenus Vieusseuxia). They turned out to be very easy to breed. I am very much an amateur at this stuff, and would appreciate advice from the more experienced growers out there (especially info on how colors mix and on breeding strategy). I'm also happy to correspond with anyone growing Moraeas, and am glad to share seeds and offsets. Also, if you know of legitimate sources for the less commonly-offered Moraea species, please let me know. I have a long list of species I'm still looking for.
