Hi, gang. For about a decade I've been breeding Moraea hybrids. If you'd like to see my favorite new flowers from spring 2021, there's a post on my blog here: https://growingcoolplants.blogspot.com/2021/10/… There are some nice magenta and orange flowers, some with veins and spots, and some flowers with intriguing multicolored eyes. I'm still trying and failing to breed a truly red flower, but there are some nice brick-colored ones. I think it's amazing how much genetic variety there is in this genus. So far I've been able to cross about 15 species in subgenus Vieusseuxia, which includes the "Peacock" Moraea flowers. This year I had the first flowers from hybrids with M. debilis, a tiny blue flower that produces dainty little hybrids. There are about 15 more Vieusseuxia species that I haven't been able to try yet. If anyone has ideas on how to get seeds or pollen from them, please let me know. For the record, I'm also doing my best to breed the species, but I also like having something new to look at each year. If anybody has any advice on how to manage a hybridization program, I'm all ears. I'm not a trained botanist, so I'm mostly making it up as I go along.
