A fine deep shade Gerd.  And is that a young C. rohlfsianum beside it?

Cyclamen graecum

0878 - A form with relatively large flowers from seed collected in the Peloponnese by the late Erna Frank. Last year this produced neither flowers nor leaves.

0879 - my favourite plant which flowers regularly every year.

Well spotted, Ashley - it is!

[Guff]

John Gennard very nice. If I ever have enough compost, would like to do that with my lower woods.

Gerd very nice.

These flowers I picked up off the ground to compare.

Hederifolium Bed

Cyclamen hederifolium 

[Guff]

Coum Bed, still a ways to go before it's all leaved out. Some bare spots, will replace what I lost next year. Need to pull the weeds again.

Very beautiful Cyclamen displayed here. 
This quite strange Cyclamen was found in the wild.
The flower was cut by an animal. It should be an hederifolium (Italy). Very short petals compaired to the others around.

[Regelian]

Guss,  let me just say, oooo-aaaahhhh.  The leaves of C. coum are simply a joy in their simple form and often complex patterns.

Alex,

das ist doch was anders!  ist das rot-violet wie im foto?  Hast du auch ein foto von den blätter?  Einfach toll.

(now that is different. is the red-violet as in the foto?  Do you have a shot of the leaves?  Simply great)

[partisangardener]

This is the true colour. Surprisingly the camera took the colours right usually not (red and violet is difficult). Maybe because of the tiles as background.

[partisangardener]

The leafs are not yet fully grown, but look very much like hederifolium.

Cyclamen hederifolium 

Arnold,
It seems this is not hederifolium - the 'ears' are lacking! Mabe it is purpurascens?

For all the Cyclamen-aholics, I've just posted some pics of the Cyclamen Society Birmingham Autumn show in the Events thread:

Gerd, does your cyprium stay pink or just on opening?

[DaveM]

Here's Cyclamen cilicium - grown from seed distribution some years ago under name of C cyprium, which it most certainly isn't. Afraid it's nowhere near as good as the beauty in Diane's pics from the Cyclamen Soc show.
