This one is probably nothing for you but while waiting for my own Cyclamens to reappear from the snow dunes I had to buy it when I came across it yesterday.

These two hederifolium seedlings ex Melvyn's seed caught my eye. One with marbled leaves and the other with extremely dark green shiny leaves.

Several times while trying to post this message I received this message and the message is lost; this is happening frequently:

Fine seedlings John!
Some seedling pictures from last year - a selfsown C. rohlfsianum seedling with two leaves on one stalk. While C. persicum seedlings grow mainly next to the mature plants in my garden especially C. hederifolium and C. cilicicum sow around freely and appear nearly everywhere.  ::)

Hans - What a joy to have these tender species sprouting hither and yon.  We were amazed when we did the last mow as we found a couple of sizeable and some tiny purpurascens growing in the lawn even though the soil is severely compacted.

Love your double-header!

Yesterday I repotted my cw persicums (1985 ex CS) into 3 gallon pots, the rolfs and graecums into 10" clay pots. The old africanum from 1985 seed into a 12" clay pot & it rwally should have gone to a 14".  It is now clear to me that they should be repotted every year - at least with my mix - as there was nothing but stones, grit and soupy black rooted peat and leafmould left. I think I've rescued them just in the nick of time.

Good grief it looks like crape myrtle. Any scent?

Two of my persicums
C persicum var. autumnale, blooming successfully this year, this plant is in flower for 4 weeks now.
seedlings of 'Persian Beauty'.

Oron - How did I miss this posting? Smashing v. autumnale and the seedlings of Persian Beauty are as well.

Hello John, Crape myrtle? Do they flower so small?
No scent that I can detect but my daughter says it is some!

Glad that you are still finding some good seedlings John, this is one that I picked out last year, its still looking very good and has very small leaves and one remaining flower at the moment. I think its another from a plant of Cyclamen hederifolium that originated near Leonidi in the Peloponnese.

I guess the dwarf crepe myrtles do flower as small plants.  Not a prayer to survive or flower here though, I had a big one in a tub for a stretch and the buds always fell off with the cool nights.  I may have seen some on Cape Cod but here it was killed outright the year it was planted out.  A few dwarfs survived one winter at Annapolis Royal but were killed the next year when then ventured above the snowline.

Sensational Melvyn.  I think there are two tiny ones that show the same silver with a darker lined edges. Hopefully they will retain it.

John,

Great leaves.  Some fascinating stuff in there, that is for sure.  I've seen similar to some of them, but the rest are new to me.

Melvyn,

That silver leaf is an absolute cracker.  Never seen anything like it with that almost red dark edge on the scolloped leaves.  Superior!!!!!!!  :o :o
Cheers.
