Cyclamen 2015

[cycnich]

Super photos, Pat - must have been a good trip, eh? Thanks for sharing.

Just to be in Greece walking amongst cyclamen it doesn't get any better than that for me.

[Maggi Young]

    Yes , I suppose  that's very much the case!

very nice Pat, was this a CSE thing?

No just a little break for my wife and I. Not a full on plant thing but a mixture. Nice tavernas, nice walks and some time on the beach even in October.

There are some gorgeous leaves there Pat.  Late October is a good time to see Cyclamen in Greece, you can usually see both flower and leaf then.  Did you find any Cyclamen graecum there?  Looks like I will have to add Lefkada to the list of Greek Islands I still have to visit!

No Denise no graecum. It doesn't grow on any of the ionian islands or has yet to be found there but there was enough to keep me occupied.

I realise that now Pat.....I'm getting my Ionians mixed up with my Aegeans!  I obviously need a holiday!

Too many islands and not enough time or money. As fast as I tick one off two more take their place. I should have started younger.

A couple of africanums from me, neither particularly typical, the first came from Peter Moore, big elegant flowers but they tend to droop a bit, the second was a slightly darker one I picked out at Wisley many years ago.

cyclamen intaminatum has been blooming for a long time, i posted pictures about 6 months ago and it never quit.  seedlings are about 1 year old now

[Maggi Young]

That's terrific, Rimmer - you'd wonder how they have the strength.

[Rimmer de Vries]

i think because the pots has a mx of 2 seed ex lots SRGC 2014 #1235 and RHS LG 2014.

[Rimmer de Vries]

how long does it take for cyclamen rohlfsianum to bloom from seed?

is this big enough?

[johnw]

Here with a very dry rest, maybe three times that size to flowering.

I was checking some pots in to which I had sown various seeds, I found that in one of them marked C, Purpurecens Album a tiny seedling, success at long last  . I have put it in a shady part of my greenhouse and keeping everything crossed that I can keep it growing.

I was looking over my cyclamen plants yesterday when I noticed this c.purpurascens album has a bud showing, I kept the plant growing all through last winter and spring and summer this year, but it still seems early. I have everything crossed that the flower when it opens is white.
