Thanks for your answers, guys!

So perhaps I think I should be modest to call it "Bowles Apollo Group" or "Bowles Apollo seedlings" etc....

Looks as if I might have been too hasty? A second seedling in my pot labelled Cyclamen cyprium is now flowering (small flower with pink markings). Perhaps associated with the small dark leaf bottom centre right which is dark red underneath?

Anthony, yes that's cyprium in flower and the middle leaf in each picture is cyprium. :)

Hi fermides is this the usual time that graceum flowers for you? Here in the uk my plants flower between September to November.

The six month difference from September to March  seems about right for the gap form UK to Australia doesn't it?

We have a lot of bother getting C. graecum to flower here even under glass - to see such a fat lovely plant in fermi's garden is arousing  plant envy here!

I've heard maggi that if you plant graceum deeply and cover the tuber with a slate it can survive over here in the mildest districts. I have a friend in Belgium who uses this method and his plants survive

They'll survive here under glass, but not flower worth a damn.  :(

Roma gets nice flowers - shes' in the countryside about thirty miles away from us  in the city - but she keeps her plants indoors.   I suspect the benefit of a slate overhead is as much for protection against excess wet and cold. We can lose a lot of plants here through summer wet, never mind winter wet!  :-X

Yeah you might get away with it in the south coast of England but nowhere else. I would not try it here in Lincolnshire.
