I bought this one as a small plant a couple of years ago and it's flowering now for the first time:-

Somehow a batch of Jim's Paeonia peregrina (Romanian form) ARCH#747720 missed getting into the inventory.   If worthy should they be moved to a master file?

The master list has been updated with all the latest photos. 
It seems sensible to make links on the list to photos here in he forum form now on.

If you have pictures of plants you are growing from Archibald seed, please do post them here  or send them to me to be added.  :)

 That is my pleasure, Pat.

The number of photos we have now of plants from JJA seed is quite considerable, making the master JJA seedlist so much more useful  -  further examples to illustrate the archive are always welcome.

Question - and sorry if this is in the wrong place - I have some C. graecum from Archibald seed - looks like it was sown in 1991 - it's labelled MJ 86-3. I've looked on the master list and can't find it. It looks like I don't have the original seedlist where I would have marked it. I remember the description was that these were from very good leaf forms - I'm thinking it's either

363.005 : CYCLAMEN GRAECUM
Greece, Argolida, near Galatas. Sea level. Open stony areas. M. Jope coll., 1986.

or

363.006 : CYCLAMEN GRAECUM Greece, Argolida, Poros, near Askeli. Sea level. Olive groves. M. Jope coll., 1986

and then they would be C. graecum ssp graecum.

Hello Mark, and thanks for the prompt Maggi,

I have looked through my notes and think I can answer your query.

The cyclamen seed that I collected in 1986 and sent to Jim and which he subsequently listed was:-
MJ 861 Cyclamen graecum Askeli Poros   Jim's reference 363:006
MJ 862 Cyclamen graecum Galatas (this is in the Peloponnese where water taxis leave for Poros) Jims reference 363:005

I also collected seed of C.graecum on Poros inland from Askeli and which I noted as MJ 863. I retained the best seedlings from this collection and it seems that I passed some of the resulting seed onto Jim but did not make a note at the time. In the past when I sent Jim seed that I collected I rarely made a note of exactly what I sent or when
As you correctly noted in your post the plants are C.graecum ssp graecum.
