Cyclamen 2015

[David Nicholson]

Nice ones there Mark.

Lots of space to go there Margaret, here's one taken at Killerton House here in Devon in February last year. We haven't managed to visit yet this year.

Great photos David + Margaret 

Here a shot from my plants at their best.

Cyclamen coum has flowered very well here too this winter. I've found a nice spot for it, sheltered under the copper beech tree.
I'm not sure about the cyclamen in the second photo.  It just doesn't have the same growth habit as the rest of C. coum.  The flowers all grow out from a central point and if I remember correctly, this plant starts flowering several weeks ahead of the others.  Any suggestions?

[Matt T]

Carolyn, I think you're second photo shows C.pseudibericum. I'm sure one of the Cycla-nuts here will confirm/correct this.

[SJW]

I'm sure one of the Cycla-nuts here will confirm/correct this.

Cyclamentalists, surely? Yes, looks like pseudibericum.

[ArnoldT]

Sounds a bit like psychomentalists.

[Mark Griffiths]

I believe the correct term is "cyclomaniacs".

Yes it does look like pseudo-ibericum but some coum varients look similar, e.g Tilebarn Graham

Possibly, although that may also refer to Mamils (middle-aged man in lycra).

On reflection, I don't think it's a coum variant, because I sowed seeds of this and of coum in September. When they germinated, they were moved to spend the winter in the unheated greenhouse. The coum seedlings have survived, but the other ones have not.  I guess they needed a little more warmth in the early stages.

One I have with a wrong name.
Does anyone have an idea?

Cyclamen persicum.

My C.repandum grown from seed (Jan) starts to flower again. Last years seeds show now their first leaf.
There are two varieties silver-leaf white flowers and normal ones with pink flowers.
I have some from Italy now for several years in the garden , but they start to flower in April or even May. They have a darker flower colour. There is still no sign of leafs yet.

Hello! It's been a while......

Here's my cyclamen coum "Porcelain" this year......though I took some seeds last year, it is growing strongly.

Today I discovered a self-sown C. coum with almost 100% double flowers. Not a great beauty.

Cyclamen coum Yayladgi.

Long flowering

I noticed the serrations on the edge of the flower.  Is this diagnostic for a Cyclamen coum?
