Cyclamen 2019

[Roma]

Two mystery Cyclamen
The first is from Cyclamen Society seed labelled Cyclamen balearicum but the flowers are more like repandum though the leaves look ok





The second from my own seed from a dubious plant which I seem to have lost has Cyclamen balearicum flowers and Cyclamen repandum leaves.  Maybe they are both hybrids.

Visited a good friend yesterday on the way home from Saturdays Iris Study Day up country and brought back this nice dark flowering form of Cyclamen hederifolium.

There are a number of young seedlings in the pot with different leaf markings so it will be interesting to see what eventuates.

Cheers Dave.

Cyclamen repandum 'Alba'

Cyclamen rohlfsianum is now producing foliage and its last flowers.
Could I possibly hope that seed is setting?
cheers

As the last flowers fade on Cyclamen rhodium peloponnesiacum fade the first are opening on Cyclamen purpurascens.

We got this Cyclamen coum [grown from CSE seed in 2005] from the plants left by our friend Margaret Taras who died a few years ago.
It has good foliage and and the flowers are a bit different to the other C. coum we grow,

Magaret's Cyclamen coum is in flower again

I grow only hardy species in my area, outside,  so most are cycl. hederifolium, but I have some intersting varieties, like this full silver one:

it is quite fair from seeds, more or less 50% are full silver, 25% are partialy, and 25% are qite similar to wild form.
this other form (this one look similar) have usualy leaves with the center more or less pink.

I have also many variations of C. coum
some few C. repandum, pseodoibericum, and others whose identities are unclear ...
but few pictures, next spring I'll take some...

Since sowing seed of C. fatraense in February 2018, I have learned that it is a misspelling of C. fatrense, which is itself a synonym for C. purpurascens, although the last thing I read suggest the name C. purpurascens subsp. immaculatum. I’m confused, and the plant is too as it is 30 °C with no significant rain for over a month.

We got this as Cyclamen cyprium last year from Hillview and it's produced its first flower
but as Ashley points out it's probably C. elegans

Nice cyclamen Fermi, but unfortunately it's not cyprium (which should have auricles like hederifolium etc.).  My guess would be elegans

Here C. purpurascens is fragrantly doing its thing.  Only today I noticed that the floral trunks can branch when necessary.

I picked this up at a nursery today, unlabeled. Can anyone have a stab at an ID? Not quite coum, could be something more interesting... ?

[Carolyn]

Could be coum subsp. caucasicum, which has heart shaped leaves with crenate margins. It's difficult to tell from the photo - are the leaf margins slightly scalloped?

Cyclamen hederifolium

Cyclamen hederifolium

John,
Can you explain why you think hederifolium?

[JohnLonsdale]

Hi Carolyn, It is definitely hederifolium, and checking the tuber will confirm it for sure.  It will have roots coming out of multiple locations over the surface, and although young, the tuber surface will already becoming a little rough.  Tubers of coum, for example are very smooth.  Roots of coum only come from a single point below the tuber. The leaves are very characteristic of many thousands I've potted up but not so easy to describe!
