Cyclamen 2010

[Oron Peri]

Cyclamen mirable are starting to flower. Three different shades.

Tony, super plants as always.

Kris, do you Know the origin of your plant, it looks to me more C. confusum rather than hederifolium by the form of the flower.

[Lesley Cox]

The C. mirabile are very lovely, especially with those delicately serrated edges and such delightful colour.

[Hans A.]

Tony ,your C. mirabile are stunnig!

Here autumn has started, first C. graecum are in flower.

[Melvyn Jope]

Autumn is well under way here too and the lovely Cyclamen rohlfsianum forma album is now in flower.

Sorry to be so long in getting back to you.  Thanks to all who sent me good wishes for my recovery.  I'm still hopping around on one leg with the Zimmer and have not been outside much.  Husband's not keen on me going out and daughter who has been watering the plants has been in a bit of a hurry or feeling tired recently.  I am longing to get into the greenhouse to point out which Cyclamen and other bulbs need to be watered now and put on the bench and what can be placed below. I am looking enviously at the postings here and wish I could see my own plants better.  Lovely to see the white C. rohlfsianum, Melvyn.  My (normal coloured ) plants are upstairs in the house so out of bounds at the moment.

An update on the Cyclamen africanum which smashed its pot earlier.  I tried it in two sizes of pot and decided to use the larger so it would not need moved for a few years.

Thank you Oron .
From a Dutch nursery Oron .There been hundreds of flowering at that moment.  I picked this one out for the color of the flowers.I must look at the leaves ,maybe the leaves could tell us more later on .I have some confusum but keep them in pots.

Cyclamen cilicium also start to flower here.Only a few leaves ,only a few flowers but a lot to come .
First picture was not taken in Turkey but in our rockgarden and  it shows how I cultivated cilicium in our rockgarden.

Tony, those mirabile are lovely. I keep finding that they wilt as the flower buds start to rise, the leaves also. Too much water? Not enough? Too much wet/dry alternations?

[johngennard]

here are some pictures of hederfolium growing beneath shrubs..I started the naturalisation process some 30years ago by scattering seed any where that nothing else would grow,apart from snowdrops of course and this same area is populated with galanthus nivalis f.p.in the same numbers.

[johngennard]

This second batch are now growing in open conditions since I removed the established shrubs so that I could grow more  interesting subjects and I had't the the heart to move the cyclamen so I am working around them with some difficulty.They have been trodden on and spaded but nothing seems to deter them.

[Maggi Young]

John, I am very nearly speechless with envy..... what a breathtaking display!
Hard to imagine anything prettier than these cyclamen.

 Is the Hepatica in the last photo ( labelled primula007) flowering NOW?

[Luc Gilgemyn]

My word, John !
It's not very often that you post here, but when you do......
I guess you don't want to discourage us mere mortals....
Another truly stunning display !
Thanks for showing !

Sorry Maggie,I don't know how that crept in.Can you delete it for me?


edit by maggi: John it is so lovely I haven't the heart to remove it!

[Lesley Cox]

Don't delete the Hepatica Maggi, it's a real beauty, even if out of season.

Whatever you show us John, at whatever time of year, is just FANTASTIC. These Cyclamen are way beyond magnificent.
