Cyclamen 2014

[krisderaeymaeker]

Very nice Cyclamen everyone .........

I always find this one a real challenge in the garden.
I did move it to this new location and hope it wil do better as in the past.
Cyclamen parviflorum. Very dwarf but not so easy under my conditions ......

Nice plants everyone.
 
A Cyclamen cyprium has finally decided to stop flowering in a very arty way;

It started flowering on the 29th of September! The sunshine hitting the conservatory over the last days has made everything rocket. C. parviflorum and cyprium had only just stopped, and outside C. coum and libanoticum are stealing the show. Don't remember ever having so much in flower at the same time, all in all 8 species and one hybrid.
 I tried to get a nice 'group photo' but failed so here a few individuals:
C. rhodium pelopponesiacum f. albiflora (is that really the name?
C. x meiklei
C. creticum
C. pseudibericum

I make no apologies for double posting (these and more in the Places to Visit thread) these pics taken last Sunday in the Churchyard at Killerton House, Nr Exeter, Devon. Cyclamen coum

David just caught up - wonderful

I think this house also boasts wonderful drifts of repandum later on

C. x meiklei

Being unsure as to the parentage of this hybrid, I was searching to check on cyclamen hybrid names - x meiklei is a cross between  creticum and repandum

This is from an article on the Plant Delights site :

Hi Mark I am new to the SRGC, I have just read your comments about C.Persicum var autumnale my plant has always flowed over the winter never the autumn, it is still in flower now. I will post a pic tomorrow.

Following the Cyclamen Society Midlands Group meeting on Sunday there was the usual tour of the cyclamen houses at Ashwood Nurseries to see the stock plants and stuff growing on.

More from Ashwood.

Seedlings are pricked out into rigid, fairly deep, plastic plug trays to grow on.

Wow!

More news from the Cyclamen Society, from Vic Aspland and Art Nicholls - 

Following filming at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, the BBC Gardeners' World programme to be broadcast on Friday 7 March will feature Cyclamen, with interviews with Vic Aspland and Nigel Hopes the BBG Alpine Area Supervisor.

 

The attached pictures show Carol Klein with Vic during filming, and the section in her Gardening Club feature in the Sunday Mirror, in which she describes BBG as 'Brum's loveliest patch' and 'an inspiring place to visit'.



She also found space to mention the forthcoming lecture by John Massey VMH OBE at the BBG Hepatica Day to be held on Sunday 16 March - see full details of that event here :

Vic will be familiar to many from his writing for AGS and other Journals and for his super talks.

@Maggi
I think I know this gentleman - I seem to remember that he was a guide for the helleborus tour in Ashwood Nurseries last year.

And this was the post at my weblog - sorry I only post articles in Japanese so please enjoy the pictures (or try Google translate or something) there.....
