As Membership Secretary for the Cyclamen Society I should expect to know a little about the genus.

Ooer!! I think I owe you some money!! Seriously though, Arthur, I'll send you a personal message 'cos I forgot to increase my C.S. membership standing order before it was paid this year and I've forgotten how much extra I need to pay.  :-\

Seeing all of those Tecophelia growing outside makes me ask why we pamper ours under glass. Mine are going out and staying out!

The first greeting of spring here. Snowdrops started pirsing the snow and feel quite happy even on a gray day like today at +3 C after a frosty night

What a wonderful selection of flowers posted, amazing and uplifting. To see Tecophilea growing like a park bedding scheme is truly amazing but Mark steady your head before you do anything rash. I would experiment with 1 bulb first because I lost all the ones I put out.
