Post by: Stephen Vella on July 21, 2013, 01:28:41 PM

Hi,

Im hoping some Cyclamen growers have some spare seed to part with. Im particulary after graecum,repandum,libanoticum and cyprium. As I had to leave these behind whem moving.

Cheers
Stephen

I will have seed / small tubers of a C. graecum clone with twisty petals in the not too distant future, if you're still interested - the leaves are fairly plain as you can see in the photo.

Hi Otto,

Thanks for your offer on the tubers which I didnt expect as Im happy with seeds but I will take you on your offer and hope to return the favour as allways.

Yes I can imagine a riot of late winter flowers in your garden. Yes C libanoticum is a favourite as Mat and I use to have a large old plant in the neighbours front garden that ended up squashed by the tree aborists when they removed a large cedrus atlantica.

will contact you later in the season

cheers
Stephen
