Cyclamen 2017

[Matt T]

There is of course the display at the Late Bulb Day, this Saturday... I'm sure Roma will bring some Cyclamen along if she is coming

Brilliant idea!

I'll be there and will bring along as many different Cyclamen as I can.  I might even have Cyclamen cyprium with one flower

[Roma]

Nice to see you are now getting flowers on your Cyclamen graecum, David.  It just needs patience ( and seed from good plants to start with).
Here are two of my Cyclamen graecum.   They are both from seed of CSE collected plants.

The most flowers I've ever had on C.cyprium at any one time is 3! It is a shy flowerer! See you soon, Roma!

I still struggle on with my seed sown graecum Roma (earliest 2008!) and not a single flower yet and I sow more Exchange seed roughly every other year. All the ones in flower that I've posted have been passed on to me by friend Mike Quest. Now, he is a good grower.

Maggi you'll have noticed there are no Shows at the moment

There's always the AGS on-line Show!
I've already put in a few entries

This cyclamen I grew from seed I found in a wood in Dacia, Turkey in October 1995..  It took a couple of years to germinate and then produced leaves year after year. The corm grew to 10cms and then it started rotting in winter.  I cut the corm in half, dusted it in sulphur and repotted it in this large clay pot.  It sulked for about 3 years and then started growing again producing some leaves but never a flower.  Last year I got two flowers. This year it may at last produce a decent flowering as I can see many flower stems coming up from the corm.  The largest leaf is 20cms. in length.

My other cyclamens grow like weeds and every pot of bulbs I have eventually produces some cyclamens  That's why I am rather proud of this one.  Patience has it's own reward !

We've been growing this Cyclamen persicum (ex Israel) from the AGS Seedex 2005 but only managed to flower it in the shade-house.
After Otto planted out one that I gave him in the garden at FCHS Hall and it did so well I started planting some small tubers out around the garden.
These under a Rowan have flowered for the first time,

Keep them dry and rather warm during summer. I think this is the best way to get more flowers. I have plants outside that have never flowered whereas my potted plant in a warm bulb frame is full of flowers.

Cyclamen cilicicum outside.

Have a look at this thread http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=15687.0 to see more of the Late Bulb Day,  cyclamen and a link to Sandy Leven's report in the main website.

" Keep them dry and rather warm during summer."

The plant is permanently kept in the glasshouse BUT in the west of Scotland, an average summer temperature is 18/20°C ,so heat is a difficulty.  We are best suited for growing Meconopsis, Primula and tender Rhododendrons.

Yes I understand your problem and I have problems with Nomocharis and Lilium that need cool conditions. I have never got any flower of Lilium mackliniae for example and gave up to grow Meconopsis.
