Cyclamen 2015

[Graeme]

Yes.....I think it's because it's on Sunday.

Got to have a good look round Ashwood - had a look at the stock house which is amazing - also had a look in the backup sales tunnels and selected two dark hederifolium - so very happy

[goofy]

hello friends,

this is my "platesize" Cyclamen in 30 cm pot
Cyclamen hederifolium 'White Cloud'


enjoy

[tonyg]

I saw the darkest Cyclamen hederifolium that I have ever seen while staying with Barrie & Morag in Cleveland yesterday ..... but looking through this  thread I suspect some of you have seen darker!

recent purchases

also had chance to select a couple of plants from about 2-3,000 that were sat waiting to go out for sale

these were the darkest flowering of the bunch

Nice buy, Graeme......I like the dark pink (the last picture) one. Did you also buy "Stargazer"
FYI, this is the purpurascens "Green Ice" I bought last week at CS show, Wisley - have just had it repotted.

nice leaf pattern on that purpurascens - I wish I had been there as I am sure I would have purchased a lot of plants.
Yes it is another 'Stargazer' I was after a pink one but all they had got was white - I couldn't resist the electric orange Lewisia either...........
A lot of the bits I bought were just doubling up on plants I already have - but a lot of mine are not in flower yet

Certainly no rival to some of the very dark hederifoliums shown lately this is the strongest dark pink here.  I'ts a tad darker than in the photo and has a cruious touch of orange in that pink, closer to Graeme's I suppose.  That red tip is very strong.

johnw - clear but a cold 8c, we may get the first kiss of frost tonight.

seedlings in 'curry' pots - we have a take away sometimes at work delivered at dinner time - guess who collects all the pots and lids
Seed was supplied very kindly by a member of this board


Hederifolium seed from plants with odd leaves and silvers - looks like a couple of silvers and long leaves


Intaminatum - although it looks like a hederifolium fell in there at some stage


random coum - these need potting on soon

[Graeme]

Tilebarn Anne - this is now a couple of years old - has good leaf colour


this one is odd - it was repotted this year and it was defiantly only one corm - the label in it is White Cloud - so I was a bit upset when it was a pink flower - then it sent up the patterned leaf - it seems to have now produced the pale leaf it should have.......


Cyprium 'Galaxy' - had this a couple of years now
Leaf is excellent

[Graeme]

These are part of last years Coum seedlings that have been either pulled out of the plunge - or out of the gravel in one of the tunnels - or were just in other pots when I was repotting

[Graeme]

just 1 more coum


an ex Tilebarn Mirabile - has an odd folded down petal this year


couple of long shots of the bottom alpine house that now seems to be full of cyclamen

Impressive collection, Graeme! 
Did you make those sandbed by yourself?
