Nice David.

here's a Cyclamen coum Yayladagi received from a fellow forumist before I was a forumist.

Cyclamen persicum is in full swing now. I have a few plants from ex Jim Archibald seed and they are all very different. One has been in flower for a while and is naturally very leggy. The others are short and stocky, but I have no pictures of them yet



In the light of the setting sun it seems to glow in a salmony hue:



Another persicum, grown in the same light and temperature conditions:



and another one, salmon, looks more like a florists cyclamen but is flowering really well and very long



and C. hederifolium ex 93073

A cyclamen not growing as anything I have read about how cyclamen should do.  These cyclamen (purchased in a garden center) are killed if I give them a dry summer rest.  I tried that a few year ago, and after starting to water them again in September nothing happened, one bulb was rotting after some time, the other bulb was not rotting, but also never restarted to grow.  Fortunately, I had some seeds and my current plants are raised from those seeds.
At the same time they are at least a bit frost hardy, because there is no room on the windowsills I have kept them in the greenhouse since November, only placing them for a week in the (rather dark) stable when night temps dropped to -6°C.  But I know they were exposed to sub-zero temps in the stable anyway and the soil in the pot was frozen.

During the long period with cold temps they didn't grow but at the same time the flowers that were open have lasted for months.  With the current warm temps they have reconnected with growth and put up more flowers.





Does anyone have similar experiences or know a bit more about unusual growing habits for Cyclamen ?

I was interested to see this picture of  Forum friend  Renate Brinkers at the recent  snowdrop event at Luisenpark in Mannheim ...



 I shared the photo with Ranate and  told her I hoped sales had gone well - Renate tells me that  yes,  she sold well and she think all the others did, too. They had the luck of very nice weather and so lot of people visited Luisenpark and the Snowdrop event.
Renate has also had the luck that there is an article in the Magazin Landlust about her and her
Cyclamen ( http://www.pflanze-und-co.de/Landlust2019.pdf )    and a new publication about Cyclamen from Gartenbotanische Vereinigung, so with the Snowdrop Events and the Cyclamen Days in her nursery end of March it is a really busy time  - she says " as it should be now. I am very happy about that. "

Another  mutual friend, Hans J.  sent me the list of events  Renate has on her calendar this Spring
