Cyclamen 2012

[Lesley Cox]

Wonderful plantings Guff. Just what I need as the snow starts here. Outside temp 5C at present, mid afternoon.

[Maggi Young]

I love these, Guff. What pleasure they must give you - and everyone who sees them 

[Hans A.]

Beautiful pictures, Guff!
Most Cyclamen have lost their leaves and showed their seedpds - here a picture of some C. rohlfsianum from last month (meanwhile a lot of ant made their work. )

a good start in a flowery summer and autumn,
Cyclamen purpurascens, orginal from Italy

[Roma]

Well flowered C. purpurascens, Dirk.  I have a few flowering now but with only 2 or 3 flowers.

     I have a cyclamen in my garden which was bought as hederifolium but always commences flowering in July and is indeed in flower now. Just wondered if this is more likely to be something else?. Perhaps purpurascens. It usually finishes as my other hederifoliums start to flower.

[mark smyth]

Any idea why so many of my hederifoliums have buds? They arent open but are flat on the top of the tubers

easy

if strongly perfumed they are C. purpurescens
C. hederifolium is most of the time not perfumed

they start this way Mark
later the flower-stems elongate

I've never seen or noticed them in bud so early

[bulborum]

Here my earliest ones always flower end of June
but there exist clones C. hederifolium flowering half of June

Thanks Roland, i will try the sniff test on the next dry day.

Some very dark and deep coloured Cyclamen hederifoliums in my garden:

Photo 1. and 2. are newly acquired hederifolium extreme dark purple. This form is darker than hederifolium Red Sky, which is on photo 3. Red Sky has started to flower a few weeks ago. The newly acquired extreme dark purple ones were bought on a garden fair two weeks ago.

Wonderful color, John
