Cyclamen 2019

[SJW]

That's interesting Steve. Does yours produce seed?

Yes, there were a few viable seed pods last year so I'll be interested to see if the trait is passed on to the seedlings.

[Yann]

Cyclamen purpurascens and its pleasant perfume.

C. cyprium


C. intaminatum


An unlikely meeting of cyprium and intaminatum


I’m feeling guilty that I didn’t repot intaminatum

I have a couple of C. Hederifolium 'Stargazer' plants however they are both white
Is there a pink form of are they all white?

Nice show David, your clone from Mike is stunning.
Hand pollinated does seeds keep features?

The original, of American origin, is pink. Extract following from Grey-Wilson's book bearing in mind that the edition I have was published in 2002...

"".....Another plant appeared by chance in the collection of Malcolm Birkett, in his Yorkshire garden, except that it was a white-flowered version. The plant in question has produced seedlings but it is not yet known whether the offspring have inherited this bizarre flowering habit........."

Many thanks Yann and Herbert.

I'm not sure Yann, but I wouldn't think so.

Nice Cyclamen David
Some questions
I grew some cyclamen from seed but during summer they went into dormancy
Only c. Hederifolium has woken up from dormancy now.
Cilicium and mirabile as well as coum has not come back even though there seem to be corms available. Are these harder to wake up?
All of these are in my parents out door room / greenhouse
My grecum has just broke dormancy even though it has been quite few good rains on it as it is standing in a pot on top of my potted lemon tree. (Outdoors) I almost thought it would not break dormancy?
Let’s hope it will have time to flower before it gets to late

I have the corms just below surface but wonder if they need to be deeper.
This also go for the once I have bought as adults.

How deep should the plants be?
As they are below a magnolia they get a bit of foliage on them. Do I need to clear that or will they work through it? I would assume the latter but is getting unsure.
Thanks in advance
Joakim
