Cyclamen 2008

Cracking plants, Tony.

It seems, you follow the requirements which commercial cyclamen growers in Germany had in the past:

A good cyclamen has to stand on its flowers if you turn the pot upside down!

Great Stuff, Tony!!

Maggi - that seed is one of the following three species, I have no idea which one lol   Got them as a job lot from Woolmans years ago, paid a bomb for them and this one is the finest of the three, tight pole of purple every spring.  the other two are much more lax in their flower racemes and not as noticeable.  Maybe someone knows which one it is likely to be.  I lost the labels long ago.

Dactylorhisa incarnata
Dactylorhisa maculata
Dactylorhisa purpurella

Gerd that often happens when I drop them!

I have around 170 Cyclamen Society plants (collected on field trips) in my care and recently I have taken photos of all of the Cyclamen mirabile collected on the '03 and '04 trips. I have posted this link on a couple of other websites, so apologies if you are seeing these yet again. Link here: http://s463.photobucket.com/albums/qq353/Tim_Murphy/

Hello, Tim, thanks for dropping in with the link!

[Pauli]

Hello,

I have an identification problem:

I got seeds as intaminatum and grew these plants. Am I right calling them cilicicum?


All the best from Linz

[Tim Murphy]

Hello Pauli, your plants are definitely C. cilicium.

[Lesley Cox]

And lovely ones too, especially the white.

[Tony Willis]

my almost white but not quite mirabile. It just has a touch of pink around the mouth of the flower.

[ChrisB]

It is quite lovely, Tony.... thanks for sharing it with us.

[Tony Willis]

i have one seed germinated from it  a year ago and so wait to see what the flowers on that are like.Probably in 2010.

Hello Tim, I have just been looking at your Cyclamen mirabile pictures.  Marvelous plants in very good condition and flowering very well, setting seed too.  They are in very good hands.  I did not order seed from the Cyclamen society this year as I have more than enough to cope with already but I feel the urge to try more C. mirabile - maybe next year!

Some persicums from this morning.

[Hans A.]

Hello Oron, really fine leafforms

Here some actual pics:
1. C. cilicium, a pink form under a palmtree
2. C. hederifolium (I think so)
3. C. persicum leaf- from seed received as "Tilebarn Karpathos" - shape of the leaf is nearer my C. rohlfsianum than the other C. persicum I grow.
