Cyclamen 2016

[Mark Griffiths]

Claire, you may find this is due to the weather - it might look different next year.

Here are some of my C. alpinums. They seem to be alot happier in the frame. I managed to get some white ones in a pot of CSE seed which is a real bonus.

 

[Claire Cockcroft]

Thanks, Mark.  It has been unusually rainy here, with days of heavy downpours.  I like the charm of C. coum and hope these plants return to normal next year.

 Sounds just like here, Claire, over many  moons!

An unknown cyclamen blooming in a pan full of hederifolium.
 the flower tepals are 1.5" or over 4 cm long, the stems are about 10" and i think this is the leaf.
 is this also hederifolium?

i have been informed this mystery 'hederifolium' is C. persicum. 
it obviously can take some cold to 20F in a pan

[Rimmer de Vries]

It was mentioned in this forum earlier that this may be Cyclamen coum forma pallidum. 
Does this opinion still hold?

I have been told - Yes, the coum is f. pallidum - typically called 'Album'.

Rimmer, that looks like persicum.

[Mark Griffiths]

and the next one is pallidum.

Cyclamen rohlfsianum has responded to recent rain and cooler weather by producing a couple of flowers,
cheers

C.coum

[Mark Griffiths]

nice. Philip and Fermi.

I rather like the plain leaved coum. Typically perverse I guess.

Fermi, I do like to see them in a more natural setting. Poor flowering of rolfsianum here this year.

some Cyclamen coum - a type from Lake Abant (Turkey/red) and Porcelaine

    See you at the Cyclamen Show on Saturday  SUNDAY 7th? This weird weather has been playing havoc with flowering times. At this rate everything will be over before the end of the month!

I know that sometimes the Cyclamen Society events are members only, but  I do not understand why  more effort is not being made to advertise them and drum up members   

[cycnich]

If I could just clarify. The actual show is not members only and never has been. The problem is because it is held at Wisley unless you are a RHS member you cannot access the gardens without paying. The exceptions to this are exhibitors and helpers who have to be there before 9am and cannot leave till 4pm. If you leave the garden between those times and you are not a RHS member you will have to pay to re enter. Crazy I know. I agree we should do more to publicise our shows but hopefully our new website which is close to completion will do much to address this.

Ahh, it seems that a confusion has arisen from the RHS  membership  thing.... what a shame -  even so, it's more of a  shame that the C.S. doesn't use its friends to make more of its  assets
