Cyclamen 2020

My photographer neighbour must have been in the garden in the past few days.  Received these pix of our Cyclamen hederifolium flats.  He asks "Can you spot the small Buddha?", no I can't.

Thanks for the pictures of the Wisley and the funny photos of foliage as well as describing the habitats
I think we are many that reads but fewer that comments.
Must say that the cyclamen is the ones that did best of the seeds sown so far.
Interesting to mix hepaticas and cyclamen. I have so far only one cyclamen with the hepaticas.
The other cyclamen is in other places.
The cat is doing his visits and I have now added grape fruit and mandarin peel to get the cat/s to stay away

My photographer neighbour... asks "Can you spot the small Buddha?", no I can't.

I think this is what he means, John,

Arda, this cyclamen came from the late Jan Bravenboer ( Green ice nursery).

Cyclamen cyprium smelling pretty today.

Wow, Anne, that is an impressive amount of flower on one plant! I usually get  2 to 5 flowers at a time, at most.

Still going strong here is Cyclamen rohlfsianum. this particular plant started flowering at the beginning of September-I never had flowers lasting that long ever.



And also C. graecum still going equally long

The rain brings out the leaves of C. hederifolium very nicely:

A favourite occupation on these rainy days is a wander round looking at the cyclamen leaves which gleam like wet pebbles on a beach.

[Diane Whitehead]

With leaves like those, who needs flowers?

I've been taking plenty photos of Cyclamen but have not got round to posting them.
I don't know what happened to my prize winning Cyclamen mirabile this year.  It flowered in August but not as prolifically as usual then went to sleep.  All flower and leaf buds seemed to dry up. I did not think the greenhouse got any hotter than usual.  Earlier this month leaves started to appear but it is nowhere near what it has been in previous years .

Still beautiful, though!

I do enjoy Cyclamen leaves, too, and to be honest, I am more interested in leaves than flowers. I was a bit disappointed in this C. hederifolium when it was a small seedling because it had just a regular silver leaf, so I planted it in a crevice in the steps in my back garden. Now the leaves are much more interesting, and I can't get it out...
