Cyclamen 2014

Thought you may like to see the first flower  on Coum 'porcelain' a new named clone raised by Jan Bravenboer. Excuse the quality of the picture taken on my phone.

Lovely flower Pat, beautiful veins on the petals

[Mark Griffiths]

very pretty. I see it's plain leaved - I think sometimes that is a better foil for flowers but then I'm perverse, I want the white flowered varieties of pink cyclamen and pink flowered varities of white ones.

[Maggi Young]

I like  the veining too - makes a flower look special.

 A digression - is that a new dog I see in your avatar now, Pat?

[cycnich]

No still the same two. Dave on the left facing now two and a half and bubbles now ten. Both bring a lot of joy and sanity to our lives.

I have a pot of around 20 seedlings all with plain leaves I hope the flowers come true as well.

My apologies, I had forgotten about Dave - cute pair and yes, they give great fun and a good grounding to life,  don't they?

Wonder if we should run a sweepstake on the odds of that, Pat? 

[Mark Griffiths]

A couple from me. C. alpium and C. coum albumissum. The last one is from Cyclamen Society seed

So you've been tempted by a coum, Pat! Very nice. With the plain green leaves, I wonder if 'Porcelain' has any 'Golan Heights' in its genes?

Nice coums shown here

Here a coum relative elegans which I got from Kurt Vickery

[Mark Griffiths]

nice elegans there!

As you know steve Coum is my least favourite cyclamen but I now appear to have seven plants in my greenhouse. Quite how this happened I am not sure.

Ian - that elegans is very handsome.

Thanks Mark and Gerry I like it to.
