this C. persicum is a little bit 'out of schedule'.

in spring it was damaged by Bothrytis and leaves and flowers failed.
over the summer it made new leaves and just begins to flower.
Its a seedling of 'TB Karpathos'

and this is lovely C. mirabile 'TB Anne'

not "very british"

it was very dry over summer here.
the "problem" with the persicum was in the greenhouse........

Wow, Hans, a real beauty - congratulations

I do not normally like aberrant forms of Cyclamen but found this C. hederifolium among many thousand in a nursery and decided I quite like it. I wonder if it will be consistent.

Maggi Young · « **Reply #700 on:** October 31, 2009, 08:29:14 PM »

Oh, dear, Melvyn, that looks like a snowdrop with a nasty carbuncle!

Michael J Campbell · « **Reply #701 on:** October 31, 2009, 09:02:56 PM »

Unfortunately it wont be consistent. here is one of mine that did this for a year but was normal the next.

Melvyn - That looks painful, I would be inclined to consult NHS Direct.

Clearly it wants to be a snowdrop Michael.
