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.

Melvyn, The selected form from Corfu has a nice color - are there different
(darker) tinted ones within the range of the selection?

On this occasion I add a pic of Cyclamen hederifolium confusum.

Cyclamen graecum grown from Cyclamen Society seed from plants collected on Cyclamen Society  expeditions.
I am delighted with these plants.  I have never done very  well before with Cyclamen graecum.  I do not think we get enough sun here but they seem to like my conditions.

Very nice, All.  I love the dark hederifolium, and those last Graecums are superb! :o

At the recent Cyclamen Society show at Wisley I was able to buy a couple of Cyclamen hederifolium with the darkest red flowers that I have seen this year.
In the garden the leaves of Cyclamen coum are looking nice and fresh before they get winter weather.

I agree Maggi . It looks like signposts Melvyn installed in his garden and thus so insects, snails misled ....

I too must echo the compliments for that red hederifolium.  Fantastic colour.  Thanks for showing us.

Maggi,  I have unchewed coum leaves here, and that is at the end of the season.  The snails and slugs are eating everything else, but not the Cyclamen. ::)
Cheers.
