Fantastic Hans... i feel like a proud father... :D

Staying with C. persicum, here are some good leaf forms.

I named the silvery center 'Persian Beauty' which is allready in commerce by Jan Bravenboer.

The curly one named 'Begonia Leaf'.

Both originated in the wild.

Hello Oron,

Superb leaf forms on your persicum but not sure about the curly one!

Thanks for showing them.

Wow, Oron.  Fantastic!!  Hopefully some of them make it over here to Australia one of these years as well.  At least if they are in commerce there is a chance of it.  Thanks for the great pics.

Melvyn , I'm not sure either, but it is so uncommon that i keep it any way.
Some of its offsprings looks much better dough.

Hans,
I find these just walking in my area,
when undisturbed there are places carpeted with C. persicum and it quite easy to notice good leaf forms.
My biggest problem is to isolate them in order to receive identical offsprings.

I have been this October to Italy for to look for cyclamen hederifolium. It was in the area of the lago di Bolsena. My first plants of this species were from this place (about twentyfive years ago). A forested area was cut down near the lake shore for houses and farmland. Great heaps of dark earth were shoved about by caterpillars. The cyclamen tubers lay about like potatoes on a field, probably millions.
I took a few :-\
This time I visited this place again I saw 5 plants nearby in a hedge. Maybe some more left in the thickets.
Of course none at the original place.
But there were a lot blooming in the surrounding hills. I took some pictures, of flowers and leafs. They were quite variable. The first four pictures are leafs very close by each other  (about 6 feet). The fifth was 30 meters away. The last some twenty kilometers away.

It was a protected area. If I get the chance I will collect a few seeds next time ;D
Some places (not protected)were littered with plastic garbage. I had to clear them for my pictures.
People told me there are at the same places spring flowering cyclamen (probably C.repandum). Maybe I will be early enough there to see them one day.
The following pictures are at some ordinary places in the hills around the lake.

Servus Axel!
Nice to see those hederifolium carpets in Italy. I've been there in spring 2008
(http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=1628.0) and can confirm the
locals about Cyclamen repandum - they are growing everywhere in the woods,
but not as compact as your hederifoliums.
