The leafs last year. About 10 cm in diameter was the biggest. Most much smaller, seven quite small  (about 3 cm) and two big ones.

C. confusum maybe?
C.confusum is endemic of Crete; it is a hederifolium for me, if C. hederifolium crassifolium ? I have no information if it grows there; remember to have seen similar plants near Firenze.
 
Here the frst Cyclamen, always the first Cyclamen graecum album:

Thanks for showing these wonderful Cyclamen, Diane even though it does make me feel like giving up.

Diane - that C. graecum is an extraordinary colour. Do you know anything about its origin?

Gerry, it was shown by Ian Robertson, and there was no indication of its origin.  That probably means that it wasn't grown from seed from a Cyclamen Society expedition plant, as they usually do say if they are.

Hello Davey, no its not rare for C.hederifolium to have a perfume, when the Cyclamen Society undertook field studies in Corfu and Zakinthos it was found that practically all of the plants were perfumed. What I have found to be more unusual is to find a good fragrant plant of C.hederifolium album. Pleased that you have plants that are perfumed because its a great additional attribute, especially if you are able to bring them indoors to appreciate it.
