That's our problem - we have no ants ( no idea why) and the BD clearly does not work as hard as the ants would.....  :-X

Lovely, Tatsuo, and not much roguing out to do. :) How old are the seedlings?

Having been released today from exercising my skills (or lack of them!) as a bathroom tiler I was allowed to be in the garden today (first time for a week-I'm a very slow tiler) here's a selection of those in flower now.

Cyclamen libanoticum, from seed sown October 2009 (SRGC 08/9-1057)
C. coum ex Nymans Group from my friend Mike Quest
and from the garden a nice patch of C. coum

Cyclamen alpinum a darker form than I've posted before. Shows the lack of light in my greenhouse when compared with Tony Willis's plant earlier in the week

David that's an unusual looking C. libanoticum. The flower looks like a cross with C.cyprium - the leaves look more like pseudo-ibericum.

Mmm, thanks for that Mark. Let's see if any of the others comment on that one, as I said it was from seed.

Yes, I was thinking C. cyprium. David - do the flowers have a sweetish scent or is it more peppery/spicier/musty?

It's not cyprium but it might be Cyclamen x wellensiek which is cyprium x libanoticum. I've found it really hard to find an imgage - this may or may not be it

http://mirabile.blog101.fc2.com/blog-category-23.html

does look very similar and curiously to me the leaves look like pseudo-ibericum on this one too.

Happens to us all, David. Here's an example. I wouldn't mind but it was from my own seed! ;D

David and Steve , both your C. libanoticum  look very much like my C. x wellensiekii  , the cross between libanoticum and cyprium .

Well. Thanks to Mark for originally starting this and to Steve and Otto for your contributions.

I went into the greenhouse yesterday to check if my Cyclamen NOTlibanoticum had a scent and couldn't discern one at all. The other member of the household usually excels in the olfactorial department (at least she does when I have a crafty fag behind the garage!) but she couldn't get a scent at all.  I tested her on a C. pseudibericum which I couldn't smell at all but she found a hint of a scent.

I've read the description (and looked at the photograph) of C x wellensiekii in Grey-Wilson and it does look very similar to my plant in all respects but he  describes the scent as a mild form of C libanoticum ("but the hybrid has not inherited the sweeter perfume of C pseudibericum")

Looks like x wellensiekii to me too I posted a picture recently here
