Cyclamen 2012

[Maggi Young]

I never met a cyclamen I didn't like.... every one a gem.

[David Nicholson]

Me too Maggi.

Me three Maggi.

And oh what glorious gems from Kris and David!  I would love to have a pure white flower on C. coum like David's 'Golan Heights'.

I can hardly wait to receive my seed from NARGS (requested quite a few cyclamen which are suppose to be white).  Unfortunately, I am waiting for my small lots permit to be able to partake in the SRGC and Cyclamen Society exchanges.

A couple leaves of C. mirabile showing through the snow.

I have never regarded Cyclamen mirabile as hardy - although some people get away with plants in their gardens.  Hope you are one

Me too Arthur.  They are planted under an Acer palmatum which is in a raised bed.  I didn't plant all of them out just in case.

Hi Arthur,

They have come through many winters here (USDA 6b) but are generally not long-lived outside.  They are sensitive to any excess moisture in the summer when we get very hot and humid, and will come through a 'normal' winter OK with perfect drainage.  They never look as good in the garden as they do in pots.

Best,

J.

I have. I think it's called 'Stargazer'. A form of C. hederifolium if I remember?

Crikey, Gerry, you're right... I'd forgotten that one... it's horrible!

Some lovely cyclamen folk. I particularly like C alpinum - it has an elegance (well most do) especially when viewed from the top - the propeller like form of the petals is so superb.......

Cyclamen pseudibericum flowering for the time for me .....

[Shadylanejewel]

Beautiful David. 

I don't have pseudibericum yet (seed requested now from several sources).  Hopefully in a few years I'll be posting baby pictures. 

[David Nicholson]

Nice pseudibericum Dave. I have some seedlings sown October 2009 so migh have flowers next year.

I have got C mirabile under scots pines in the garden, they came through the last two winters fine and flowered well.  Also C pseudibericum coming into flower there as well.


Does anyone know where I can photograph Cyclamen balearicum in the Cevennes region ?

[David Nicholson]

I've got Cyclamen mirabile in a north(ish) facing raised bed in full flower at the moment. Will try to get a pic but am going to be away for the next few days. It is it's first season outdoors so will be interesting to see if it comes back next year.
