Cyclamen 2016

[cycnich]

As far as I am aware Roy who has run the exchange for the last few years has expressed a desire to step down but agreed to have the seed sent to him this year. So the seed distribution is going through a problamic period this year until a replacement is found. This will probably explain why the seed is late this year. Also it has been a very bad year for cse seed.

A 12 month-old Cyclamen hederifolium seedling is flowering

An early baby YT?

[Mark Griffiths]

thank you Pat, I didn't want to add to Roy's burden by e-mailing him.

An early baby YT?

I think so, David. It's the first time for me. C. hederifolium usually requires 1 more growing season to flower at here.

Razvan Chisu is on an AGS Holiday to Greece and has been posting some super  photos in Facebook of the flowers and places he's seeing - however, this compilation of foliage from Cyclamen graecum really caught my eye.....

[Maggi Young]

Meanwhile, from the USA, Saori  ("peppa" ) has posted these Cyclamen hederifolium leaves ....

And Melvyn Jope has posted these - from  England !

When we find a great new hederifolium the single word response is usually "Melvyn" then verify by the label.  A few of his here.

I thought this looks like a particularly smart leaved persicum.

Again from Razvan Chisu in Greece - this time  Cyclamen graecum flower forms!

I thought this looks like a particularly smart leaved persicum.

I'd certainly say so!

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

Hi Mark,
my seeds arrived today. I presume everyone will get theirs very soon! Thanks again Roy Skidmore!
