Cyclamen 2020

[Herman Mylemans]

Cyclamen graecum in tufa garden.

Cyclamen graecum ‘Glyfada’ is wrong name, the leave is not right. It should be Cyclamen graecum.

Cyclamen purpurascens, picture from July 

[Leena]

Herman, what a nice cyclamen flowering you have, and a lot of them!
Here first C.purpurascens started to flower in early August, and still there are flowers in some of them. It seems that some of them start to flower later than others.
C.hederifolium has not been hardy in my garden, but C.purpurascens is, I'm so happy about that!

This is Cyclamen graecum ssp. candicum from Crete - flowering since two weeks

Leena, here I have had in the past some damage at the leaves of C. hederifolium because of frost, but they always have survived.

This was kindly identified from its leaves last year as C. hederifolium - it originated from the Madonie mountains in Sicily and I had hoped it was C. repandum. Anyway, here is the flower at the moment for anyone to confirm

Best wishes!

Cyclamen graecum
Still not sure if this is graecum, maritimum or candicum. I think it is candicum, but can anyone tell from this picture?


Cyclamen hederifolium bicolour flower

This tuber produced mostly white flowers, but 2 flowers are distinctly bi-coloured! probably a chance mutation that will not come back next year. I'll try to keep the seedpods separate ( wish me luck)


Cyclamen rohlfsianum

These C.purpurascens have grown indoors and were planted in the garden 2 years ago.

Their siblings do well under  LED lighting and flower all year round.

Both photographs taken within around a week.

This one appeared 4 years ago in my garden and was potted, but never flowered the same again. Probably this phenomenon is due to stress of any kind.

I had a similar "striped" flower this year on a young plant, which I lifted from the garden. Hints of the forms called "Ruby" with a much darker colour. A second flower showed little of this marking, but I do have some other corms with much darker colour.

Has anyone tried to hybridize Cyclamen hederefolium with Cyclamen cilicium? 

Do they hybridize?

[Maggi Young]

From Kirsten Andersen on FB -  "Cyclamen hederifolium CSE 07003G. I have a question - is it a 'Red Corfu'? "

Kirsten says she's had  it  confirmed  as  'Red Corfu' - nice  isn't  it?

Grandpappy Cyclamen africanum which I grew from seed from the 1985 Cyclamen Society Seedex.  The pots is 60cm wide and the corm touches the rim.  Carefree and a reliable bloomer which appecriates being outdoors for the autumn.
