Cyclamen 2013

[tonyg]

A happy outcome.  For many years I grew Cyclamen graecum in a greenhouse raised bed, they flowered superbly there.  In January 2012 we removed the greenhouse and I expected that the cyclamen would go into decline.  Here they are, flowering almost as good as ever, two summers and one hard winter later :-)

Nice Tony. I had expected the odd flower this year from my 2008 graecum sowings, in pots in the greenhouse, all of them are in good leaf but not a single flower. Maybe next year I'll crack it.

One that is in flower Cyclamen mirabile forma niveum, from ex 'Tilebarn Jan' seed sown August 2009. The snail that dared to leave a trail over my leaf is no more!

Tony - very nice, the group effect is really pleasing.

Lovely leaves Michael.  Maybe seed from 'Tilebarn Nicholas'?

Summer heat is the key I think but don't over-dry them.  I have one in the greenhouse this year now in  nice flower.  It's been in the same tray as some of my seedling alpines, so regular watering all summer.  I pulled the last of the old leaves off yesterday, it was still green!

Nice white mirabile David and what a hot pink Michael.

Thanks for all kind comments! Every time I have a look here there are more fabulous pictures !

Hans, lovely to see these growing in the open ground, especially the rohlfsianum

Sometimes they seem to prefer on the ground!

Have not seen C. graecum in the wild I wonder if ssp. anatolicum forms larger corms than the other ssp?

Here some more pics. First a C. rohlfsianum - it is not the only one who has the corm "on" the ground (not planted this way); some C. graecum anatolicum, one C. graecum anatolicum; C. graecum with very small leaves (apologies for bad picture).

The understatement of the season.

All the labels on the notable ones say ex M. Jope.

Cyclamen hederifolium dwarf white or should I say shortest petioled

Cyclamen hederifolium unusual clear pink in a shade I have never seen before, a pure red nose.  Colour not captured very well at all but if you know the Magnolia 'Daybreak' that's the coleur.

Luckily on the weekend I spied this in a flat to go to the sale!

Some interesting Cyclamen at the SRGC Discussion Weekend
A very nice pink Cyclamen intaminatum
Jean Wyllie's Cyclamen colchicum  -  I wish mine would flower like that - I got one flower before the old leaves died from 7 plants
Another of Jean's exhibits  - a lovely pot of pink Cyclamen intaminatum in a raised from seed class

[Mark Griffiths]

some of my colchicum are a bit sparse leaved at the moment but are in full bloom.
