Picked up three new cyclamen at the weekend, first a lovely C. Cyprium, lovely scent & great looking markings on leaves, next a C. Mirabile with some great silver markings on it's leaves & some with a touch of pink & lastly I spotted this C. Rohlfsianum with some great leaf markings. I have noticed some of my persicum plants have started into growth C. Persicum forma puniceum on the left at the back & C. Persicum forma roseum on the right, these were grown from society seed & some of them have great foliage markings, show plants for the future hopefully.

Must remember to tip out my pot with cyprium in it to separate the corm from the hederifolium that it is mixed with.

Smelling very good Matt. Maybe yours will need another years growth.

Spotted this yesterday  :)
Even this one tiny flower smells great.
Thanks, David

It was excellent as I got to have a look at their stock plants and there was the most unusual hederifolium plant I
had ever seen with a leaf like a serrated knife blade - it was very odd
There is a pure white flowered - pure pewter leaf c.coum in there as well and a c. hederifolium with a pink band in the leaf

Graeme - sounds like it had 'Lysander' in its parentage? (which Ashwoods sells). Some photos of the strain by Jim Almond, here: http://alpineenthusiast.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/cyclamen-hederifolium-who-needs-flowers.html

I think I remember seeing a picture of that plant somewhere, either on the forum or in a talk by ?Vic Aspland or?John Massey.  I believe it had not set seed and maybe had not even flowered.

My Cyclamen graecum are not doing well this year.  The first one had lots of flowers last year and set masses of seed.  It only managed one flower this year.  The white one has 4 flowers.  A few are not showing signs of life and some have rotted.  I did have too many so as long as a few good ones survive I am happy.

Some superb leaves there Roma on a very underrated species. It will never have the flower power of some of the others but it is one of my favourites.

It was the oddest thing I had ever seen - the leaves were about 2" long and 1/4 inch wide - more like rocket salad leaves - a bit like the rib of a cyclamen leaf without the outside bit - the guy who looked after their collection said he had been told to discard it - didn't look like it had flowered

C. graecum is generally spoken not as good here as in other recent years Roma .

Until now no flowers on this C. mirabile 'Tilebarn Nicholas ' ....It was a very good flowering plant in the previous years.
But this year the leaves ar not bad .... 

C. hederifolium 'Stargazer' is about two months later as previous years .
