Here's a very confused C. purpurascens.
Seed pot passed on to me by my friend Mike Quest- Cyclamen coum 'Nymans Group'
This is probably the most 'strident' colour form I have - from CSE seed. Strident in the sense that it's a deep shocking pink colour although I'm not sure if that's the shade you mean. (And the true colour is quite difficult to capture unless you're a skilled photographer, which I'm not .)

Re your climate - obviously I don't know it. It must be more "aggressive". Yet, here in Central Europe we have alternating snow, deep soil freezing and thaw. That's true - not every other day. And sometimes we have mild winters. According to my observations, out of those conditions only severe frost without snow cover is deadly to C. coum. Primarily the tubers are injured and not the exposed leaves and buds. After long-lasting frost down to - 30 Celsius two years ago I still had some flowers (just a few, though).
Cyclamen libanoticum and C.coum 'Ashwood Snowflake'
A couple of plants that I am really enjoying at the moment, the first and last thing I look at in the greenhouse after work every day. Both are Rhodium ssp Peloponnesiacum bought at a cyclamen show a couple of years ago from Ian Robertson.
I am puzzled by my C. persicum f.albidum. It has produced more flowers this year than it has for some time but they are taking forever to open properly. I brought the plant in from the greenhouse at the beginning of the month and still only 2 out of 12 blooms have properly reflexed petals. Is it lack of light?
