Coum bud/flower, it's under snow again. Maybe next week it will warm back up.

Guff, have you seen this thread ? .... great looking cyclamen at the famous Ashwood's nursery in England.......

Maggi thanks, yes I missed it.

I hope my coum bed turns out nice in a few years, so far so good.

I will be ordering hellebore seed for the first time from them. Ashwoods charges a phytosanitary certificate fee for US customers to import seed. I wrote the USDA and they said I didn't need a phyto, only small lot seed permit. Ashwoods said they would accept my permit, so it will be interesting to see how it works out. They said I was the first to ask about it.

[Maggi Young]

As I understand it, it is the Small Lots of Seed permit that you can use for seed from a commercial seed house just like you can with the SRGC or AGS Seed Exchanges, Guff.

In the Southern hemisphere, Cyclamen graecum is just waking up from its summer siesta,


cheers

The siesta has paid off dividends, Fermi - a graceful beauty

The sun was shining so I took a few pics in the alpine house. 

Here's Cyclamen pseudibericum enjoying the sun. Mind you it sulks if it gets too warm in the greenhouse.

Its been in a pot in an uncovered sand plunge all winter and has had -8 C and a lot of snow on it.  It's come through very happily.

A couple flowering for the first time for me:-

Cyclamen coum 'Golan Heights'
Cyclamen libanoticum

[Maggi Young]

Lots of plants coming into flower with you down there.... great to see them.

Nice ones David. I seem to recall a long time ago when I grew libanoticum it used to manage one leaf and one flower at a time!

I'm surprised too Anne because it has been left to it's own devises. I don't have sufficient greenhouse space (yet!!) to grow Cyclamen well and they tend to get shoved into any odd corner. Neglect seems to have suited it.

Love the silver seedlings in Reply #41. I think I'd be selecting those out and making a little patch of pure silver.
