Cyclamen 2023

A beautiful cyclamen seed in my garden.

Very nice Cyclamen everyone. 
Stefan, your hederifolium has beautiful red colour.

I got seeds of white C.purpurascens from Guff last autumn, and the seeds germinated this August, just like my own C.purpurascens and seeds of purpurascens from Herman.
Seeds of C.hederifolium (not in the picture, they are already pricked out) and C.cilicium sown in August 2022 germinated in October 2022, but seeds of C.elegans sown also at the same time are germinating just now, a year later.
In the picture the pot on the top left. Top middle is C.purpurascens 'Album'. Thank you for the seeds!

This Cyclamen persicum is a seedling of one raised from seed designated "ex Israel" - possibly from Oron - quite a few years ago, I think from the AGS Seedex.
A recent heatwave (its only spring here!!) meant the collapse of the foliage but the flowers continued on after getting a drink.
cheers

I have about 15 pots of Cyclamen graecum (including ssp. candicum, 'Rhodopou' and 'Glyfada') in the glasshouse that have been grown from seed. Many are 10 years old but the rest are younger. All have produced splendid foliage this year but not one flower. I am sure most have flowered previously. I know they sometimes produce foliage before flowers but the flowers should have appeared by now. They have been watered moderately on the compost surface. Can anyone suggest why there are no flowers?

Hello Terry,

Making a satisfactory diagnosis for your Cyclamen plants over the Internet might be extremely difficult. Variables of light, temperature, moisture and the availability of essential nutrients at critical times are all considerations. Visiting a nursery/garden center with competent personnel will likely yield quicker and more accurate results. There is a definite need to ask pertinent questions. Based on the answers additional questions will likely need to be made. I am in the U.S.A. Someone in your location will be aware of significant weather/climatic events that may be important contributing factors. Local experts will also better understand local disease and insect pests.

Good luck finding a solution to your Cyclamen issues.

Cyclamen mirabile f. niveum is flowering again. First it was flowering in August.
