Cyclamen 2010

[fermi de Sousa]

Tony,
I can see why you like that one!

These are two other seedling Cyclamen graecum which I think are a little light in colour than the one I posted earlier

Looks like pseudibericum David.

Not pseudibericum, I assure you. I've grown that for years, and its flowers are very distinctive. David's plant is coum. I could probably go outside this very minute and find any number of plants with precisely the same characters as David's.

Speaking of Cyclamen pseudibericum, has anyone ever heard of a pure white form? The species is a big, lusty, luscious cyclamen and a white form with good substance would be a real stunner. I nearly had a heart attack several years ago when I thought I had one, but it turned out to be a stray specimen of white-flowered coum.

This is my white one with a pink nose which I think is preferable to a totally white one.

Nice colour variatian Tony. Does this fall into the group classified as roseum?

[Tony Willis]

Ian I think it has to come under roseum. Here is a picture of its offspring flowering for the first time last year. Not quite as I had hoped.

Cyclamen coum

Ex BSBE 518. The flowers are somewhat darker than the photo shows.

Tony I have a pseudobericum that is almost white but with the faintest pink underlay will post when the flowers open

I was on the 2002 Cyclamen society field study for Pseudibericum and try as we might we never found a pure white. We found and collected some very pale ones with a hint of pink on the nose but that was as close as we got.

First hints of autumn in the air with chilly mornings (still stifling afternoons though) and first flowers on Cyc. hederifolium and my best dark C. cilicium. I'll post a pic in a few days when there are more out. This particular corm has been long-lived, about 15 years now in the same trough and a few before that. It seems just about to fill the trough. The flowers are a much deeper colour than other cililciums but it has never set seed. It flowers for 5 months.

Cyclamen coum in the garden.

[Tony Willis]

Cyclamen libanoticum out at the moment. I keep this frost free.

Found this self sown seedling in the garden today. Looks to me like X Drydeniae. The leaves are typical coum and the flower is typical alpinum and almost picotee. There is no scent that I can dectect lying on my belly in the mud, these things always appear in the most awkward places. Opinions please.

Here is a coum from CSE #S10N 54B grown the the CS exchange back in 1995. It is desparately slow here and my mix could be to fault.  I do like the hot pink bicoloured flowers though.  I don't know any of the particulars on this expedition and would be pleased if anyone can help.

A glorious sunny day at +9c. Snowdrops poking up all over.

Some great stuff there! C. coum are still asleep here!
Cyclamen graecum continue on! This one is my oldest specimen and increases in flower power each year,


And this is one of the younger plants in the rock garden, grown from NARGS Sdx, donated by Ellen Hornig, NY.

Tony, I love this cyclamen for the leaves and delicate flower shape and colour - where does it grow naturally?

[Guff]

Coum bed.

Just a couple of pics of Cyclamen peloponnesiacum.
