New Moraea hybrids, 2016

(My apologies to those who are interested only in species; please move along
to the next post.)

I've posted photos of the 2016 results from my Moraea hybridization
experiments. My favorite new hybrids this year are:

--An exuberantly freckled flower from a cross between Moraea 'Zoe' and M.
atropunctata,

--A flower with a double-ring bullseye pattern in the center (Moraea villosa
X bellendenii), and

--A cross between Moraea gigandra and M. neopavonia, which produced a very
large orange-purple flower with a hypnotic light blue eye.

You can see photos of these and a few other highlights here:

I also updated my notes on which Moraea species can cross, here:

I am a total amateur at this plant breeding stuff, and would welcome any
advice or suggestions.

Thanks,

Mike
