Cyclamen 2017

[Roma]

Wonderfull mirable pot 

Thank you, Yann

[Bart]

Your mirabile are stunning, Roma! Mine are way behind, only just showing signs of growth.
I could do with a bit of help with the small cyclamen as in the pictures. I have a number of very cute hens that every so often decide to scrat through my pots of young cyclamen and in doing so they scatter the labels and sometimes the contents of the pots. So I have quite a few unlabelled plants, and this one puzzles me. It could be C.cilicium 'Album', but it is no larger than my largest C.intaminatum and it hasn't got the whispy-ness of cilicium, or the veining of intaminatum.









Anyone an idea?

[SJW]

From the leaves I'd say it's definitely cilicium.

Cyclamen yesterday I saw at Babadağ / Muğla

[DaveM]

With those marked auricles and the location, mostly likely to be Cyclamen maritimum (formerly C. graecum subsp. anatolicum). Did any have leaves?

[Arda Takan]

No Dave, no leaves
By the way this is the only cyclamen I saw whole trip. And I looked for miles on babadağ. Only colchicums were there and drimia maritima on lowlands.

[Arda Takan]

can it be Cyclamen hederifolium? how do you people differentiate this species

[DaveM]

I suggested C maritimum at least partly on the basis of distribution maps which show C hederifolium to occur northwards from the area around Bodrum. I've seen good hederifolium leaves in the spring around Salihli, east of Izmir. Of course there's always a chance that the maps are incomplete. Appearance of the leaves would be a good clue.

[Arda Takan]

I look at the cyclamen society's website but I cannot see differences between species except for leaves. It is really hard

[Matt T]

Had any of the flowers gone over and set seed? The pedicels of C. hederifolium coil from the top down. In CC. graecum/maritimum they start coiling in the middle.

Cyclamen mirabile 'Tilebarn Anne' , i like it, easy to please

nice Yann - all the plants of Anne I have are plain leaf - the christmas tree patterned ones I have were all marked Nicholas when I purchased them?

[ArnoldT]

A nice dark C. herderafolium.

[Yann]

I've, from seeds, a second generation of TBA on which pattern is almost absent.
TBA normally has no pattern, Nicholas has always a wider pattern.

TBA can also have a 3-4mm dark border or very thin central pattern.

No Matt. 3 flowers, 2 mature, 1 in bud. This is the earliest in the area I think.
