Actually its not bad, I like the pattern. Also if it does make f2 offspring they will be quite interesting I am sure. Plus there are brown patterned Pacific coast iris and daylilies (I like the one called Milk Chocolate, its a very apt name as a color description, while it may not be a thing of beauty it sure is interesting) so why not a brown Moraea hybrid? Ernie In a very cold Briarcliff Manor NY where snow still covers the ground while single digit night temps still are forecast for 2 or 3 nights later this week, but its supposed to change when March begins to a somewhat more normal temperature regime. No flowers at all outside, geophyte nor "honorable mention" but inside Oxalis obtusa and other spp, Gladiolus ssp, Pelargonium echinatum (a white and a purple form) and incrassatum are blooming among others. Z7 that crossed into Z6 this February
