These we received from a generous forum member many years ago.

Cyclamen coum 'Yayladagi"

Yayladagi a small town on the Turkish Syrian border.

[Harald-Alex.]

My a year ago planted C. coum flowers again and from the seeds of last years flowers germinated a lot of seedlings under the cyclamen-leaves and around them! Frosts till  -9°C did not dammage the motherplant and the seedlings.

Arnold that's a stunning form!

[Renate Brinkers]

Arnold,
I haven´t seen this form before, it has a great colour.

Harald-Alex.,

really a lot of seedlings. I am always impressed how these little seedlings survive.

The pictures below where made also at -9°, a bit too blue, sorry.

Dear David, thank you very much for the answer! I, too, do not have enough of Yan ... His widow reported that Jan's collection of cyclamens had been sent to the UK. My friends in this country have not yet found the traces of the collection. And Jan had the forms of Purpurascens of extraordinary beauty. I'm looking for them ... This site that you sent, i know, they sell seeds of the simplest form. But anyway, thank you very much.

Kind Regards,
Orintia

I have copied the above post from another thread, the post is seeking further information about the possible whereabouts of the late, and much missed, Jan Bravenboer's Cyclamen collection which the poster believes was sent to the UK after Jan's death. He/she is particularly interested in obtaining seeds from Jan's C. purpurascens.

Can anyone help please?

[Maggi Young]

I checked with Melvyn Jope  - he tells me that Jan's collection is  distributed to various people around the UK.  - I suspect  any chance of  seed from his plants rests now with the Cyclamen Society seedlist, if any appears there.

It was a pleasure for me to visit Green Ice and Jan a few years ago on my business trip to France. I have seen his surprisingly small greenhouse - a home of incredible diversity and source of plants and seeds for sale.

I bought some plants then, including C. purpurascens. Now I cannot identify the plants from Jan as I also got them from other source, but small piece of Jan's work does live in my garden. Other cyclamens that I bought then (like C. mirabile), soon went to the happy hunting ground (or another place where cyclamens go forever) as my garden appeared to be to hostile to them.

I also have some C. coum that is trying to survive here. While I lost absolute majority of plants over the years, there is one place where they survive - deep planted and covered with thick layer of cones, leaves and needles. There are even seedlings - clearly the thick mulch is not an obstacle to them.

This is a group of seedlings that I raised a few years ago from a single dark flowered individual. They sit under a magnolia and seem happy. They have started to appear in other parts of the same bed.

[Maggi Young]

Very pretty, David - has it got a good scent?

[David Nicholson]

Didn't have a sniff Maggi, keen to get back in the warm again
