Hi all ,
here is a interesting Cyclamen coum from Azerbaijan

This looks like C coum ssp elegans (now with species status C elegans).  Pointy leaves and tall flowers without the white tips at the nose.  I think this is the correct (sub-) species for Azerbaijan and northern Iran.  Is the plant in the wild or in cultivation Hans?

Hans,

Beautiful!  The absence of even that pale pink nose on my near white gives yours such a wonderful purity.  Great pics!!  8)
Cheers.

Oh, my word! What a spectacle! How wonderful.
Gerd, will you be so kind as to pass the very best wishes of Ian and I to Erich?  He is a man for whom we have much respect and considerable affection.

Yes, I will do it.
I feel the same for Erich and I am glad that he lives near to me (approx. 25 km) - so it's  easy for me to get answers for a lot of questions.
