Cyclamen 2014

[Martin Baxendale]

Two  Cyclamen pseudibericum grown from my own seed collection

Lovely pseudibericum roseum, Tony. Looks very close to a libanoticum-type shade of pink.

As Tony has shown Cyclamen pseudibericum comes in a wide range of pink shades and when they are the good fragrant selections, fabulous!

Now that is some great colour! I almost think I CAN smell the flowers!

Hi Steve to be honest I'm not sure, like I said earlier when I first started growing them I did not have much luck, but I think that might have been because I was a bit too easy with the water. Now I let them dry out a bit before I water again, also I give them a feed now & again with tomorite tomato feed. It seems to be working. The leaves on this plant are really good, you are a member of the cyclamen society aren't you? Do you go to the shows at wisely? If you want I can bring some seeds with me to the October show for you if you are going.

John - yes, I'm a member of the CS and have had more free time these past couple of years to attend the shows at Birmingham and Wisley. In fact, I'll be at the Wisley Spring show at the end of the month which, annoyingly, clashes with the Hexham show (and the October show is also on the same day as the Newcastle show. Grrr!). Many thanks for the kind offer of elegans seeds but I'm ok at the moment as I have a few pots of seedlings on the go from this season's sowing. If I have any disasters with them I may get back to you!

I thought I knew you name from somewhere, no problem with the elegans, what about the scented coum with the great leaves.

John - I'll message you.

Cyclamen cyprium and C. hederifoliumfrom SRGC seed sown Feb 2012, only the cyprium isn't as the leaves are not right.

[Mark Griffiths]

Anthony, that cyprium looks like hederifolium album. What are the leaves like? Twice I've had pink hederifolium mixed in with cyprium from the Cyclamen Society seed. Here's the usual cyprium flower

 

[Mark Griffiths]

Anthony, I think you just did an edit and put in the leaf pic as I posted. That leaf is hederifolium or maybe africanum, it's not cyprium. sorry

Cyclamen alpinum out in the garden. I just checked my photo-log: it has been in flower for over a month now (in spite of several light frosts at nicht)!

[Mark Griffiths]

 Bolinopsis, I think you will find that is coum. C.alpinum dosn't usually have any white on the basal blotch, it's a solid dark nose.

[partisangardener]

C.repandum grown from seeds from Jan have started their new  leafs. The flower will still take some time.  Maybe this time is a white one with its first flower on the start.
I never expected this variation of the leafs. The leafs come up quite late and I think they will be hardy with me.  They are still in a box. This time I will plant some outside.

[johnstephen29]

You've got a really varied selection of leaves there, I like the  silver on the last one

[partisangardener]

One plant from different source flowered outside in May. So one of the last Variations will be first out in my garden. I hope it will have some day the giant leafs I have seen in Italy.
At the moment they are very tiny.

[johnstephen29]

I have noticed with some coum I have in the garden the more shade they have the bigger the leaf
