I love white purpurascens too Hans

From seed sown August 2009 Cyclamen mirabile ex forma niveum 'Tilebarn Jan'

Lovely 'Tilebarn Jan', David.  I've not tried that one from seed yet.
Results from seed of named forms can be variable.

The first two plants are from SRGC seed, 'Tilebarn Nicholas, sown in 2001.  Only one has the correct markings.  The first one usually colours well but not this year.
The next one ought to be 'Tilebarn Anne' but should not have a central green mark.
The other three are seedlings from the first plant.

Does anyone have any suggestions for good sites to photograph Cyclamen hederifolium south of Naples, Italy ?  Any suggestions most welcome.

Lesley, Maggi, Hans thanks. 

Coum and crocus bed was a ton of work, but well worth the effort.

Stunning, Guff.

A trio of C. hederifolium bought last year in an end of season sale from a garden centre. They look much better this year than they did when I bought them.
I chose them for their flower colour and leaf patterns.

That's a nice dark hederifolium, Graham.  I bought C. hederifolium 'Red Sky'  from John Amand at the Discussion weekend last year but the flowers are not quite open yet.

Does anyone know anything about Cyclamen adjaricum? I've just been given a young plant by a generous friend.

Just googled Cyclamen adjaricum and found a few references including one fro this Forum.  Topic Cyclamen seed P2 January 18th 2007. (sorry I don't know how to quote the url - if that's the right term )
It seems it is a form of coum ssp caucasicum from Georgia.

I got seed of Cyclamen adzharicum (adjaricum) from Vlastimil Pilous in 2007. It is very much like C. coum, the flowers are a bit bigger. I have treated it like C.coum and it is completely hardy in Denmark.

Extract from "Cycalamen-A Guide for Gardeners, Horticulturists and Botanists" Grey-Wilson 2002

"Cyclamen coum ssp caucasicum........ In the Caucasus a medley of different forms exist sometimes side by side but also as discreet colonies, and botanists working in the region have described many species in this complex, though few would uphold these today as distinct elements, the synonyms include, abschasicum, adzharicum, caucasicum, cicassicum, ibericum and vernum"

According to the Kew Plant List and IPNI Cyclamen adzharicum Pobed. is an accepted name of the species. As far as I understand, Cyclamen adzharicum was described in 1950 by the Russian botanist Evgenia Pobedimova and in 2003 was Cyclamen adzharicum recognized as a separate species. But I fully agree that it looks like C. coum.
