I scammed yet. I hate these firms that sell the same bulbs in two or three different names in order to sell more.
thank you for your reply SJW

I know, it's really frustrating. Let's hope your hederifolium at least have decent leaves! I don't know how far away the Dutch Green Ice nursery (Jan en Mieke Bravenboer) is from where you are in Belgium but you can rely on the provenance of their stock. They have some excellent plants and also do mail order.

Home, the Cyclamen hederifolium are doing well, the Cyclamen coum also elsewhere. They begin to colonize the low hedges.

I put the larger cyclamens outdoors yesterday to see if I might increase the seed set, they will stay out till frost threatens.  When seedling purpurascens, coum and hederifolium are in flower in the greenhouse the pollinators will just about tear the door down to get in, I spend alot of time ctaching them and taking them back outside.  On this sunny warm day the honeybees, wasps, flies and hoverflies are out and ignoring the cyclamen completely.  In fact the honeybees are wasting their time examing the small to tiny rosettes of encrusted saxifrages, I guess the shape says flower to them but why make such a mistake at this time of year?

Couple of nice rohlfsianum there John, not forgetting the africanum.

[Mark Griffiths]

a couple from me - a rather nice flowered C. mirabile ex CSE collection and C. intaminatum seedlings which I put in a trough over 20 years ago.

great colour, Ruben.

I just received a generous great gift and comes from far away. I just plant them so they are a bit tousled. The flash light does not put them in value. I can now say, "Here Cyclamen cilicium". I would do a photo when they mark signs of recovery.

[Mark Griffiths]

hi, has anyone got their Cyclamen society seed yet? I thought it usually arrives early October here in the UK

forgot to order so won't be getting any    however someone had commented that seed set was poor this year

[Naoto The Zombie]

Huh? Are you guys talking about the ordinary CS seeds or the CSE seeds? I haven't heard anything about the CSE seeds yet! (or have I missed it?  )
By the way, I obtained some seeds of Corfu Red and sowed them last year....but the germination is so poor. Only three or four of it just have come up so far.......

[Mark Griffiths]

I'm talking about the main distribution.

[Naoto The Zombie]

I see, Mark.......Even they didn't have any @ Wisley a couple of weeks ago.
