Another Archibald connection from Melvyn Jope

 "Several years ago my friend the late Jim Archibald gave me some old seed to try. It was in a seed packet made rusty by the paperclip holding it together with contents described as C.persicum JCA 1050 Lebanon. The germination was quite good and from the seedlings l selected silver leaf forms. I passed them to Peter Moore of Tilebarn Nursery to develop as he had much more space than me. It is now fairly widely distributed and in some cases l think given a name.
Here is a photo of some of the seedlings that I still grow and which I prefer to describe as Cyclamen persicum ex JCA 1050 Lebanon."
