Is this because you didn't get out on your usual Wednesday retail therapy trip, David? !!

[David Nicholson]

Yes, we were otherwise engaged on events that further seriously eroded the Nicholson fortune so got an order in before all the bills come in

Cyclamen pseudibericum from seed (SRGC 08/9-1065)

[Bart]

Last week I brought a small but healthy C. pseudibericum into the house to enjoy the strong scent. This morning I spotted all the leaves but one showed this severe chlorosis. Flowers are healthy, but all petioles but one were nearly detached and came off without effort after the picture was taken. There is no obvious sign of fungal attack, so is this just a schock- reaction to the change in temperature and humidity?

Hi Bart,
did you remember to put it outside again each night ("with the cat")? Or did you only have it inside for a very short period? I'd always been told that cyclamen "are not house-plants" and won't tolerate the indoor temperatures we humans tend to prefer.

Here we have the first of the autumn species, Cyclamen graecum, starting to flower in the rock garden,
cheers

It was in the house day and night, I didn't think it would deteriorate so quickly. Cyclamen persicum usually doesn't mind a little visit.
Nice to see graecum with so many seed pods. I have a big plant in a pot that is crowded with young pods this year, I'm worried to get botrytis in it. Some leaves are on their way out, which seems early in the year to me. Are other people's graecum beginning to 'retreat'?

I think it is  Pat's birthday today - many happies, "cycnich"!!

[Rogan]

Many happy returns! - the first blooms of the season on my venerable Cyclamen graecum 

[David Nicholson]

Happy Birthday Pat.

Lots of cyclamen everywhere now, just as C. coum is fading away in the garden.
Some pictures from C. persicum 'mix' sown in 2012, with a great variation:


C.persicum very vivid pink, nearly looks like repandum;


C. persicum with pale flowers with a twist in the petals;


C. persicum mid-pink;


C.persicum pale flower, without the twist.

In the garden C. libanoticum is in full bloom, just in time to get battered by gale force winds yesterday and day before. I'll post a pic as soon as the sun comes out again....
