Cyclamen 2019

[fermi de Sousa]

Hi David,
that's a kind offer but no longer possible due to changes in the import regulations making it impossible for us to receive seess that aren't commercially packeted or sent from a registered business or plant society
I might try getting them through the Seedex again
Yesterday I was surprised to see Cyclamen rohlfsianum already turning colour! However I was pleased to see what was beneath those golden leaves
cheers

A seedling of Cyclamen hederifolium with a ghost-like pattern under a silverish veil.

[Mariette]

This Cyclamen hederifolium was bought 11 years ago from a Dutch gardener and obviously  belonged to a strain - label unfortunately lost. Does anybody know the name?

I have one very similar and they were sold under the 'Silverme' label/strain - could be one of them

[David Nicholson]

Two different colour forms of Cyclamen africanum. Both grown from the same batch of seeds (possibly from SRGC Seed Ex.) but my records are incomplete, sown October 2015.

Thank You, Graeme! As far as I remember the label was ´Ice Green´, but that may have been just the name of Jan Bravenboer´s nursery where the gardener probably bought either plants or seed.

[David Nicholson]

Jan’s nursery was called ‘Green Ice’.

Your africanum has a nicely marked leaf.  Mine has big green leaves with a slightly darker shadow.  Boring, as I consider the leaves to be the best part of most cyclamen.  I sowed the Cyclamen Society seed in 1997, and  I don't recall seeing any flowers yet.

There was also an 'Ivy Ice' Series of C. hederifolium that was marketed by garden centres a while ago. "A new set of Autumn flowering cyclamen bred to produce lots of flowers with attractively marbled leaves in their first year."

These are two cyclamen from Cyprus. C. graecum originally from Liveras and with some flowers finally
after this years hot summer.

Thank You, this seems more likely. Jan named a strain of Cyclamen purpurascens ´Green Ice´, but I don´t know of a strain of Cyclamen hederifolium of the same nae.

Beautiful cyclamen from all!

I'm happy with my Garden hederifoliums -

3 cheap tubers from a discounter - it was a trial - surviving my outside conditions since 2 years
and a very dark flowering form from Renate Brinkers.

[Graeme]

has Cyclamen Society seed ex been distributed yet?

there was also supposed to be a CSE PM & JB seed list - not seen anything of that either

Graeme, have another read of the June CS Journal Pages 44/5

David at the moment I have everything in boxes so the chances of locating it less than zero  its a pity they don''t put a scanned in copy of the journal in the members area - or in fact e-mail a PDF out to everyone
