Coum Porcelain seems to have liked the mild weather

a very kind forum member sent me a couple of corms a few years ago - this is the first time I have managed to get a decent flowering

[Graeme]

Coum 'Golan Heights' seems to be flowering well this year - I suspect it needs a bit more warmth over winter

[Yann]

Coum from Golan need a very late watering. The white form is now classified as Cyclamen coum f. albissimum

Unfortunately the fine lines on the petals are not stable. My plant, received from the late Jane Bravenboer looks like an ordinary white coum this season.

Cyclamen libanoticum in the garden, flowering in exactly the same weeks as last year:



There is a coum growing next to it, showing some of its leaves in the picture.

Also, to my surprise, Cyclamen pseudibericum made it into a batch of C. hederifolium that I planted on the edge of a path under a tall fir tree:



I am now growing more species outdoors without protection than I ever thought possible. One day they will freeze I suppose or succumb to a soggy summer..For now they look very cheerful.

Cyclamen mirabile - grown from seed from AGS Seedex as "ex Tilebarn Nicholas" and subsequent generations

Nice to see ‘em Fermi. My Cyclamen in the greenhouse are terrible this year mainly because of a lack of attention during our big wet period between November and the early part of March when it was mainly too wet to even think about getting outside.

This last week has been beautiful with wall-to-wall sunshine every day but quite a nip in the air and was able to catch up a bit. The thing is as we are confined to home because of the Virus Maureen drags me out every afternoon on a long walk and my knees are just about shot now. I could do with making an appointment!

Cyclamen Coum, sown fall 2018 (but too late), germinated fall 2019, flowering spring 2020 - spent winter in an unheated greenhouse.

I really was not expecting these to flower that fast

Thanks, David,
we're now heading into cooler weather at last! Soon we'll be complaining about how cold it is!
As for your knees I'm happy to suggest some exercises

Cyclamen are stronger than literature claims

A pot of Cyclamen x meiklei, raised from seed obtained from the late Jan Bravenboer, seed from C.creticum completely silver leaf x C. repandum. Sown 23/09/2010





Also flowering C. balearicum, nice flower but look at the leaf!





The more Cyclamen I grow, or rather the longer, the more I get odd behaviour. I have one C. persicum that flowered before Christmas and has just produced ripe seed 
I hope this leaf problem doesn't spread. It appears on and off on balearicum but not on others in section repandum.

Should try to cross them, it's stronger than creticum itself.

Cyclamen rhodium is very shy this year few stems per pot

Here in Adelaide South Australia we are 180° out of sync in our seasons and Cyclamen are waking up from summer dormancy. I was given a few pots of seedlings by a fellow enthusiast last spring, some of them sans labels. Can anyone tell me what this could be? My initial thought was persicum, but maybe graecum? No sign of flower buds at this stage which will help to clear it up.
