Foliage on Cyclamen is beginning to look good now. Even the transient red colouring on Cyclamen mirabile is hanging on. The first photo is C. mirabile Tile Barn Anne the second C.mirabile Tile Barn Nicholas.
Melvyn - what is your experience of 'Tile Barn Anne'? I've had a plant for years which lives, but does not thrive.
Gerry passed away  at home  on 25th February 2021 - his posts are  left  in the  forum in memory of him.
His was a long life - lived well.

Gerry I find growing it pretty much the same as other C. mirabile I posted a photo of the flowers of one of my Tile Barn Anne on September 5th where you will see its doing ok. Perhaps you are just unlucky in having a plant of weak constitution?

Melvyn,

Absolutely glorious!!  I so want to get a seedling that is correct of Tilebarn Anne.  To have a full pink, shading to silver as it ages is just a wonderful idea.  I've tried T. Anne from seed once and got nothing like that, and have a few nicholas that look like yours, one with a bit more silver (and therefore pink when young) than that.  Each time I have received seed I have hoped for a solid silver version.  ::)  The pink on the T. Anne is brilliant!!  :o
Cheers.

Guff, your Cyclamen bed is making a magnificent carpet of leaves with flowers mingling - I wish I could do something similar and would appreciate any tips from your success and maybe a wider shot to show the situation if possible  ::)

Great plants Melvyn and Guff, and many thanks for the information about "Tilebarn Anne", also thought it would be generally weaker than the others mirabile as for example "Tilebarn Jan" so I did not try to grow this superb plant.

Fred  :o- important on my picture was Cyclamen graecum, I could not cut the Oncoleaves in the Background just for the photo ;) ;D

Nice new plant, Wim. :)


I feel I must repeat the following  photo of a roadside verge, full of Cyclamen hederifolium, in Corsica, pictured by Fred (Bulbissime) in the Arum thread : http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3373.75
just in case any cyclamen fans missed it there!

Herbert - It looks so natural in the low clay pan with that gritty mix. Beautiful.

Herbert , beautiful and large plant!

Took some pictures of the first leaves, hardly less attractive than the flowers.
C. persicum looks quite ordinary but I liked the red borderline at the edge of the leaves - it is the only one of a batch of seedlings (JJA) with this feature.
