Thanks for all the advice given, Tony, Maggi and Martin - I too thought that maybe there was a C coum or two (especially after Lesley said their leaves although plain green were very glossy and attractive and I thought of those at 7 and 9 o'clock in my pot!) Anyway I will take a small blunt knife and try to lift the large ones out without disturbing the throng! BTW seeing the tiny tubers swelling is a real treat  |

Seems like a have a very vigorous form in my garden. I hope to get a lot of seed from this see of flowers next summer.
If anybody is interested to get some seeds from my plants you may contact me next summer.

thomas and kris, thanks for the ideas.. i will move them to a sunnier spot, and probably bring in most at least for this winter (i also have one pot that i never took out); those that i winter indoors, (they will be 1 year old in fall, apart from late germinators), should i water all winter, or give them a rest midwinter? full hot sun spots are in very short supply here in the forest, so they may eventually get a somewhat sunny spot, but probably not all day sun--that only exists in front of the house, where i expect to build the beds for cacti and succulents |

Very impressed with the fine plants of Cyclamen purpurascens shown recently, its virtually impossible to grow them outside in my garden, I think its far too dry, I just wish I could grow them as well as Thomas, his display reminded me of those we saw at Riva del Garda last year.
What we can grow very successfully here is Cyclamen hederifolium and I now have surplus fresh seed from mixed selected leaf forms. If any of you would like some to try please send me a pm.

Thomas i can just echo every one...really superb!!! In my experience this species can tolerate some real high temperatures for even long periods, it grows in pots outside in the garden down here, doing OK. not as yours offcourse.....  I just never let them getting dry. |

Thomas very nice. I think I collected maybe 40 seeds from my 5 plants, guess it will give me a start to a sea of purpurascens flowers. Thomas just curious are your coum leafing out? My coum are and I think I'm going to be amazed come spring with lots of flowers.
Starting to see some flowers in my dark purple hederifolium bed. Will be interesting to see if any very dark ones show, crossing fingers.

Robin, only some coums are dark green and glossy. Others have quite a matte surface and of course there are all the super patterned ones. Glossy, in fact may be quite scarce. I have only the one like that among very many

Thanks Lesley, looking out for any eventuality (it's amazing what germinates if you leave a pot after potting on seedlings) meanwhile it's great to watch the patterns form on the C. hederifolium |

Guff,
It seems there is a dark one in your bed - please compare with my plant from the same origin (I guess).

A super colour, Gerd! What percentage of the seedling are dark? I have C. hederifolium Ruby Glow but only about 1% of the seedlings come true.  |
