Cyclamen 2015

[Claire Cockcroft]

I have one more question.  I grew this as Cyclamen creticum from the 2009 AGC-BC seed exchange (Canada).  Is this name correct?
Thank you.

[Mark Griffiths]

I think they are all C.hederifolium - the shiny leaved ones might be C.confusum..but may be forms of C. heterifolium. Interesting looking.

Cyclamen maritimum seedlings from seed sown in October.

[Claire Cockcroft]

Thank you, Mark.  I'll send pictures of flowers when they finally bloom.

[Mark Griffiths]

some already marked Anthony, look promising

[Mark Griffiths]

Claire, and take a sniff too. My confusum flowers just look like big hederifolium but are strongly scented..but then so are some other hederifoliums. Frankly I only know my plants are true because they came froma CSE collection from a specific location that was then deemed to be C. confusum.

Here is what I have as Cyclamen persicum autumnale. This is the earliest it has ever flowered for me

[Mark Griffiths]

I find autumnale to be the first usually to flower here also. That said it looks like it's going to be a few weeks yet.

Never got it to flower in the autumn so far. I've got some seedlings that I treated really roughly as in bone dry over the summer but still nothing. I think Oron Peri commented that in addition to being dry they are very hot over the summer. The greenhouse gets hot but probably not quite that hot for any length of time.

Still a few flowers in the greenhouse
Cyclamen hederifolium
Cyclamen purpurascens
Cyclamen coum  - the first two are in the wood at the door of the tractor shed in hard packed clay.  They are a bit away from the garden.  Don't know how they got there.  There is another one even farther into the wood.
The third one is in gravel at the east side of the house.

Hi gang!
C. coum "Porcelain" is now flowering.....again one month earlier than usual. The second picture is the seedlings of this Porcelain - like mother like daughter, the leaves are just plain green.

Happy new year!
