These are beautiful. I don't think they look like amateur work. Just beautiful!

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
