The old Cyclamen graecum from the mid-1980's has just started to flower and there will be many more to come.

I was a bit surprised this morning to find this rather toothy self-sown purpurascens seedling in the garden.  Makes me wonder if a line of toothed purpurascens exits or could be developed.

That's rather attractive, John. Certainly worth trying to establish a seed strain. Reminds me of Jean's lovely C. mirabile with crimped leaves shown at the Late Bulb last year.

Good idea.  I'll have to remember to build a little screen tent for it next year.

Ah, I'd missed that Maggi. I was wondering where Steve was as it can't be long before the Autumn Cyclamen Soc. show and, as I remember Steve usually has some storming hederifoliums.

One from the greenhouse today, Cyclamen mirabile, a seedling from Mike Quest. Possibly from 'Tilebarn Nicholas'

A comparison between two seed grown forms of Cyclamen persicum from Rhodes (left) and Jordan. Is this just different growing conditions?

Anthony, I think Cyclamen tend to be very individual. I have a couple of plants from Archibald seed from Rhodes - billed as a particularly compact form - one certainly is - very compact with thick silvered leaves - the other is more like a standard persicum. I find size and growth rate very variable for some species too.
