Hi, gang.

If you don't like hybrids, my apologies and please move on to the next
message.

I've posted a summary of my new Moraea hybrids from this year. If you've
been with this list for a while, you know that for about a decade I've been
experimenting with crossing various "Peacock" and related species of Moraea.
The results continue to be really interesting, with lots of spots and
stripes and unusual color combinations. I am amazed by the genetic diversity
of this genus.

I sometimes get asked about the ethics of growing species versus hybrids. My
perspective: I don't see a conflict; I also do my best to conserve and share
the species. But raising hybrids gives me new stuff to look at every year,
whereas I already have most of the Moraea species that are available.

If anyone has any advice, or suggestions on things to cross, I am all ears.
I am not a botanist and appreciate any help I can get.
