Gerd, thanks.

It's interesting to see how the flower progresses, latest one. Would be cool to do a time lapse video.

I don't think it's going to get much darker. It will be another 3 weeks before I see another flower open on a different plant, crossing fingers.

Guff, Did you compare the color with the tone of 'Ruby Glow' ?
Your flower seems to be at least darker than those of 'normal' hederifolium'!

Here are two pics of a plant which I received as Cyclamen purpurascens album.
Is this really ' album' or are there plants which are totally white?
Please note the faint pink tinge around the base of the petals and the lines!

If I remember well Hans J. told me that his plant has the same coloration -
did you Hans?

Gerd ,

I have one plant which is pure white ( bought from a nursery in England )....but I have some seedlings ( from a strain which is white flowering) and they are mixed -from pure white until such plant as you have show
The problem with this white flowering purpurascens that they make never seeds ...I try it since many years ...

Gerd / Hans  - I got seed of the white purpurascens from the Cyclamen Society last distribution.  No seeds have sprouted to date whilst other purpurascens already have 1 cm corms.

The sun came out late yesterday - that would make about 2.125 days with sun this month. Last evening and this morning very dense fog, the same overcast skies as of 10:30 am. Saturday will make 7 weeks of this weather. Rather green here.

Thank you Hans. Waiting for the flowers of a second one which was called 'alba'.

John, Unfortunately I never tested seeds of white purpurascens.

I have Cyclamen purpurascens album flowering for the first time from Cyclamen Society seed sown in December 2007. Like yours Gerd it is pink inside and has pink veins.

I just checked the label in the empty white purpurascens pot. It says CS06-94 so it must have been a free packet of old seed.

Less than 2 years - this is a good result! The flowers don't differ.
Thank you Roma!

Gerd, I agree it's darker then most normal pink hederifolium. Most of my pink's are a muddy pink, but I do have a few real pink ones in my bed. Getting excited about my hederifolium bed. A couple pictures, no flowers open, but lots of buds popping up.

Does the white purpurascens have the same scent as the normal pink form?

Your hederifolium look very promisingly - with or without the dark ones. I am pretty sure there will be some better dark ones around anytime soon - I remember what Jan Bravenboer told me.
Don't know whether the white purpurascens is scented or not because my olfactory sense became nearly absent - unfortunately didn't ask my wife to test it.

We have to ask Hans Joschko who will read this hopefully!
