Impressive collection, Graeme!  :o
Did you make those sandbed by yourself?
Yes they were real fun to build  ::) - they are on 4" solid block stands - I had to build them hanging out of the double doors - once the first was built my neighbour gave me a hand to stand it on its side while I build the second - we then moved the first one over and dropped the other one down - they hold about 1/2 ton of sand in each side

Cyclamen hederifolium ssp confusum from seed. Seems to be more difficult to flower than straight hederifolium?

This Garden Centre bought Cyclamen persicum has survived outdoors in a pot for 18 months now, and is flowering again.

A smart one, Ruben - good foliage and flowers are what we're  all looking for in our cyclamen.

I have only recently discovered that Cyclamen hederifolium is now on the  prohibited invasive list for BC(British Columbia) in Canada.

Something Canadian members will need to be aware of when ordering from the Seed Exchange.

Two old Cyclamen rohlfsianum from the Cyclamen Society Seedex of 1987.

The first one looks very like mine, John.  I think I sent in seed from the parent plants about that time.  As far as I know the 2 old plants, collected in Libya in 1952 are still alive and well at the Cruickshank Botanic Garden in Aberdeen.  My three plants were grown from seed in 1982 or '83.

Well a belated thank-you Roma and for the added tid-bits of information. !  Amazing the connections that come with plants & seeds. 

johnw - battening down the hatches here for wind and 50mm of rain.  First very light frosts the past two nights, enough to zap the Musas though.

A few pictures of cyclamen hederifolium ssp crassifolium taken in Lefkada last week.
