Cyclamen 2016

[Bart]

And Melvyn Jope has posted these - from  England !

Fantastic hederifolium leaves everyone! I can look at them for hours in the garden... My collection is steadily growing, thanks to the seed exchanges, and now some spontaneous appearances of interesting forms. Here's one of them, ex cse:

Cyclamen hederifolium ex cse 93073


One that caught my eye is a silver whirligig- type, as shown in the picture of ' Marco ten Hoope 's collection' , 2nd row  2nd from left, on page 133 of the book 'Genus Cyclamen...'by Brian Mathew. Does anyone grow anything similar, and if so... don't suppose there would be some spare seed at some point...?   Or of course a nice picture would do.

I have been a bit lazy about posting pics of my Cyclamen this year but here are a few
Cyclamen hederifolium in the gravel at the front of the house  Been flowering since August.
Cyclamen hederifolium - seedlings from 'Red Sky'
Cyclamen hederifolium - very small flowers and leaves.  Someone asked a while back if their Cyclamen hederifolium with small flowers would have bigger flowers when it got older, well this one has always had tiny flowers and leaves.
Cyclamen cyprium

[Roma]

Cyclamen graecum
Cyclamen rohlfsianum
Cyclamen purpurascens - about a dozen tubers in the pot.  Two years from sowing and one year from germination

[Roma]

Cyclamen mirabile 'Tilebarn Nicholas', from the same sowing as the mirabile I showed a while ago.  This is a smaller plant and flowers much later.
Cyclamen mirabile - 3 older tubers in this pot.  Seedlings from tubers bought in Woolworths many years ago as Cyclamen hederifolium when Cyclamen mirabile was not thought to be in cultivation.
Cyclamen intaminatum in a large pot (with rocks).  Two pics of the first taken a few days apart.  Both have been flowering a long time but usually only one or two flowers at a time.

Should have said some of the leaves in the second Cyclamen mirabile photo are Cyclamen hederifolium possibly from re-used grit.

Very nice "babies" and a super  selection of leaves.

Some plants are very slow to get going. C. cyprium is one of them, but I have massive variation in C. mirabile. Here is a picture of some very odd looking tissue, that at first looked as if the tuber had gone off. But now you can see the first baby leaf:

Three cyclamen in the garden, bought from the local garden centre. Described as good for hanging baskets. No name and they don,t look all that hardy. We had frost last night. I bought five last year and they coped with last winter. I think the leaves are interesting as well as the flowers. img. 1020150.
