Thanks Steve. I'll keep an eye on them. I have a lovely pot of pink hederifolium grown from Zakynthos seed flowering now.

Is it scented? My heds from Zakynthos are scented (and probably subsp. crassifolium). There were some really good leaf forms collected by the Cyclamen Society on their Zakynthos expedition, ex CSE seed sometimes available.

I'll have to check. My sense of smell is not great, so I may have to get a second opinion.

To wet your nose will  improve your sense of smell. I just tried because dogs have wet noses, it helps.
I use saliva its always handy.

Cyclamen persicum -  4 out of 6 plants survived the big freeze of December 2010 and are just getting back to normal.  Must get round to repotting one of these years
Cyclamen rhodium ssp. peloponnesiacum  - I've shown it before but I love those leaves

I love this rhodium leafs.
Not hardy I presume.
The nearest Leaf pattern is with me the hardy C.repandum. The flower is quite similar but not jet open.
