Last year I bought two seedling pots of Cyclamen cilicium forma album. One pot has flowered for the first time and even as a 'newbie' to Cyclamen I can see it is not forma album. Is it C. cilicium though? I have looked in Chris Grey-Wilson's 'Cyclamen' and from his description I think it probably is but he does say that flowers appear with young or semi-mature leaves-I don't have leaves yet! Help please?

They look like C cilicium, David.  I expect that the leaves won't be far behind

Thanks for that Diane. I see I had I missed out the third 'i' in cilicium in my original post and have edited it.

David,

I stumble over remembering which things are cilicicum and which are cilicium.... never can remember and usually end up having to look it up for whatever genus I am trying to write about.  There's a few genus that have one of them in it.

David

I think leaf growth is dependant on the watering regime.

I find they start to flower whether they have been watered or not, but leaf growth early on is very much dependant on the amount of water they receive as they spring into growth.

I have them at all stages at the moment. Here is one from last year,a poor picture I am afraid which is in full flower and is already setting seed with no leaves visible.

I have a C. mirable in flower again with no leaves yet.

Tony, the pic I showed was from a pot I had inadvertantly put, after re-potting, with a tray of bulbs in the dry awaiting the 'September shower' and flowered without any water until I noticed it and gave it a drink. My other pot is yet to show any kind of activity inspite of having been watered regularly. I await with eager anticipation!

I have had a few flowers open so far, 25 or so. I planted 310ish hederifolium in this bed, not sure how many are still alive. I did notice some dead ones when I put down fresh pine needles. They will be 3 years old around Christmas time. It's going to be loaded with flowers. Pretend you can't see the netting......, those darn squirrels.

Hi David
I found a pot of cilicium in flower yesterday which has been outside, exposed to all the weather we've had here - it's one of the few to survive from a batch bought last year.
I'm sure each plant has it's own responses to conditions as repotting my cyclamen yesterday I've got plants of the same species some in leaf and some with no signs of growth at all, some of my graecum haven't lost their foliage over the summer, others haven't had a leaf for months, they all grow together in the same small plunge bed so conditions are pretty much the same. Just the natural variety you get I suspect. The only constant was what a bad year it has been for seeds, just a handful of pods and seeds.
