There seem to be quite a few dark forms of Cyclamen hederifolium becoming available now. I bought this plant at the discussion weekend, the flowers are a bit tatty after travelling a few hundred miles but I think it still has the potential to be a good plant in the future.

Melvyn, There were a lot of these available here in Germany last weekend too - all from Dutch sellers - although the origin of these variants very likely was the UK.

Kris,

I love the herifolium variants you have.  #13 and #19 in particular caught my eye.  Both extremely unusual!!  :o

Melvyn,

Congrats on that purchase.  Much darker than I've ever seen available here in Aus, but if they're becoming more readily available overseas then they should make it to Australia one of these years.

Thanks for sharing your treasures everyone.  8)
Cheers.

Nice plants, Dieter.  Are the C persicum in flower now?
Can I also correct a common mistake, your picture labelled C. hederifolium 'Silver Cloud' is actually C. hederifolium White Cloud.  Silver Cloud has pink flowers, White Cloud has white flowers, both have silver leaves.

The dark Cyclamen hederifolium I posted in reply 406 was bought at the Discussion Weekend in 2007 from John Amand.  My darker flowered plants all seem to have stronger colour this year compared to last.
Sorry to have missed meeting you Melvyn.  I'm always keen to talk to other cyclamen enthusiasts.

Thank you all for the nice comments on my hederifolium-collection.   
I also like the darker flowering hederifoliums Melvyn. This one is my darkest one... (pic 1 & 2 )
I agree with Roma ,we have good and strong colours this year.
I think we can say we have a good Cyclamen-year here...
Also a lot of flowers ,even on young plants.This Cyclamen graecum (from seedcollection in Lesbos)is only 4 years old in november of this year.

tks Diane for the hint, I have already corrected.
It was wrong named by error,
I also have the 'Silver Cloud' (about 40 plants),
but no "interesting" pic to show.   :(

The 'Karpathos' flowered all year long, very unusual as I find,
and has remaining 3 flowers now. The other clone is over.............

Very nice leaves on your Cyclamen cilicium Kris.
A couple of close ups of Cyclamen hederifolium from this afternoon, the first is one of the selected red forms from Corfu, the second is, love it or hate it, Stargazer.

Potting up a Cyclamen hederifolium today one had perfectly formed whorls of undeveloped leaves on both ?top? and ?bottom?. Hard to decide which way to plant it.  I have seen shoots from the sides but never this.
