Cyclamen 2014

Steve
I presume that is one of the cse plants I passed on to you. If so that is brilliant, I don't remember it being that good or growing it that well.

Thanks, Pat (and you're being far too modest .) Yes, it's one of the cse plants. I repotted them this summer and was then rather nervous waiting for them all to come through, which they have (phew), although I suspect it'll take them a season to settle down fully in their new surroundings. Here's hoping for a good seed set for the seed distribution. Every flower stem that collapses and withers - common with mirabile, in my experience - I'm now taking personally

I looked after all of the CSE mirabile and intaminatum between 2005 and 2008. Here's a link to my Photobucket account where you can see photos of some of the plants: http://s463.photobucket.com/user/Tim_Murphy/library/Cyclamen%20mirabile%20CSE?sort=3&page=1

all mine are grown in the greenhouse but I have no problems with seed set.I brush my hand over the flowers as I look/admire them and it works well.

Two more in flower

Cyclamen intaminatum my own seed collection from some years ago. has a nice pink flush as the flowers age

Cyclamen africanum an Archibald collection

Thanks for that link, Tim.

Hope this is ok but I stumbled on this, it's a video of Cyclamen libanoticum in the wild -  it's a bit short but if you go to about 7 mins the cyclamen action starts.

Hi mark great video, great to see libanoticum in the wild, there was some peonies there as well if I'm not mistaken. Just wish I could have understood what they were saying, speaking Lebanese? The lady in charge was really knew her stuff, pretty lass as well

[Mark Griffiths]

I think there are other videos in the same series.

[johnstephen29]

Yeah I noticed there was one on iris and a few others, I'll have to take a look.

what was on the board just after 9:30 - looks like red leaf forms?

Hi Tim, yes I'd come across your photos when browsing online some time ago. Some really lovely plants there. I did wonder whether it would be possible for them to be uploaded to/shared with the Cyclamen Society site - they'd be a great resource for the annual CSE seed list (when mirabile seed is on the list).

Tony - same here, my hands wave so much in the greenhouse my wife once thought I needed medical assistance . There's probably various contributing factors to my mirabile not being as fecund as some of the other species I grow. Not least inadequate ventilation...

One of my Cyclamen rohlfsianum from Cyclamen Socity seed.

Very interesting to see your Cyclamen mirabile photos, Tim.
Here are three I have flowering now.  The first two are from SRGC seed sown in 2001, the third is much older and was from my own seed from plants bought in Woolworths as Cyclamen hederifolium before Cyclamen mirabile was common in cultivation.

[johnstephen29]

Hi Roma great looking mirabile, do you get the pink on the leaves? I don't seem to get that on my plants. Hi steve the only problem I have with Mirabile is recognising one when its under my nose.
