Stunning. I've one or two darker forms in the garden, and they certainly do catch the eye even from a distance.

fab purpurascens, Roma, I really can't get much out of it here - I used to have some nice plants but that was many years (decades ago). C. colchicum seems easier here.

Lovely C.purpurascens Roma, you are way ahead of me with C.rohlfsianum, nothing above the grit yet here.

Thanks, Mark & Melvyn.  That one is particularly good this year.  I have about half a dozen this size.  Some are flowering well but not so many flowers open at one time.  My plants of colchicum are younger -  07 and 09 with the 09 ones growing and flowering better.
Melvyn, I was surprised to see flowers appear on Cyclamen rohlfsianum so early.  They have been dry all summer but I start watering when the first flowers appear.  The problem then is the leaves grow too big and floppy and spoil the look of the plant.  I hope they still look presentable for the SRGC Discussion Weekend ;D

Thanks both. Probably not Rimmer but I can't get interested in showing in any case, too much hassle!!

Hi Ruben - C. hederifolium 'Tilebarn Greville' is actually the pink-flowered form. The form with the white flower is 'Tilebarn Shirley'.

Hello,

As a new on this forum,  I would like to show some pictures of our Cyclamen.
Created serveral places in the garden for growing Cyclamen.

Our garden is south-west facing and we created a special place under Thujas, where we grow C. creticum, C. libanoticum and more less hardy species.

Enjoy the pictures.

Nice weekend.

Gert-Jan
