Welcome to the list, Dave! There are a number of Morea fanciers in our online fellowship, including me, and we all look forward to sharing info with you. I've found that it's hard to predict what people will or won't want from the BX, so my personal rule is to go ahead and share but label really precisely. As long as you label them Moraea (species unknown, looks like tripetala) then I personally think you are probably OK. Other folks please speak up if I'm giving bad advice. By the way, I bought some of those same bulb packets from UCBG, and found the same thing as you: A lot of the material was mislabeled. Worse, some of the packets had M. setifolia mixed in, a nice looking species that often seeds itself aggressively in captivity. (The non-tripetala flower in your photo looks to me like M. setifolia. Be cautious with it!) It looks to me like Berkeley has been growing these things in pots side by side and some of the plants seeded into nearby pots. That's understandable, it happens to many of us including me, but if you'll forgive me for being a little bit catty, I thought it was amusing because their management has in the past been very persnickety about proclaiming how they identify everything in their collection meticulously, keep them separate, etc. If you want, you could try to verify the identity of your M. tripetala flowers by looking them up in the online monograph about that species, which is here: https://abcjournal.org/index.php/ABC/… One catch is that the species has now been divided into a bunch of different species, distinguished by differences in flower structure, color, and some other details. The article above describes the details. So there's a chance that even if what you have was once called M. tripetala, it's not actually M. tripetala any more. There's also a small risk that what you have could be hybrids between different M. tripetala species. However, I haven't seen pollinators in California figure out how to get into those particular flowers, so I think the risk is relatively low. Confused? Welcome to the club.
