Cyclamen coum in the greenhouse.
'Quaker Pearl' White flower, two different leaves. Is the silver one correct?
Roma, the Grey-Wilson book says that Kath Dryden proposed that the white-flowered forms of the offspring from the original C. coum EKB 371 (EK Balls collection) should be called 'Quaker Pearl'. EKB 371 had reasonably large rounded leaves with a broad silvery hastate pattern and, in the centre, a characteristic deep green 'Christmas tree' pattern.The hastate pattern is a bit dull and not very silver so I will not pass on seed of either as 'Quaker Pearl'
Not sure about this one either. The label says Cyclamen creticum which it definitely is not. I'm not sure if it is coum or alpinum or possibly a hybrid. I think the leaves have a look of alpinum about them but I am not sure about the flowers. I only spotted the aphids when I put the pictures on the computer.

Repandum seeds around a bit here too in grass away from shrubs/trees so tolerates moisture in open ground.
We got this Cyclamen coum [grown from CSE seed in 2005] from the plants left by our friend Margaret Taras who died a few years ago.Magaret's Cyclamen coum is in flower again
It has good foliage and and the flowers are a bit different to the other C. coum we grow,

Cyclamen hederifolium
John,
When I think about the leaves of hederifolium, would I be right in thinking that those roundish, heart-shaped leaves are maybe characteristic of a young plant, and the more ivy- like shape develops later? Or are there just so many variations of hederifolium leaves?
I thought I'd share some photos of my very small Cyclamen coum flowers - see if anyone else has had very small flowers like these before.I have a C. cilicium with tiny flowers that I spotted among a batch of normal ones and bought from RHS Harlow Carr a few years ago. It's kept its small flower size for the last two years so this example must be a genetic quirk rather than environmental. It's more interesting than attractive!

That's interesting Steve. Does yours produce seed?Yes, there were a few viable seed pods last year so I'll be interested to see if the trait is passed on to the seedlings.
I have a couple of C. Hederifolium 'Stargazer' plants however they are both white
Is there a pink form of are they all white?
The original, of American origin, is pink. Extract following from Grey-Wilson's book bearing in mind that the edition I have was published in 2002...thanks David - I need to look for a pink one then :)
"".....Another plant appeared by chance in the collection of Malcolm Birkett, in his Yorkshire garden, except that it was a white-flowered version. The plant in question has produced seedlings but it is not yet known whether the offspring have inherited this bizarre flowering habit........."
Anne, that cilicium is an absolute stunner! Any chance you still have a bit of seed from that plant to spare?I think that if the cyclamen seeds are a mix of hardy species that would be fine for the seedex. What would be more of a problem is a mix of hardy and tender.
I have messed up my seed contribution this year. 3 little chicks and their protective stepmom have taken it upon themselves to undo most of my labelling of open ground cyclamen. They also mixed the seedpods around, so I ended up with a decent quantity of mixed species and cultivars. Don't know if that is any good for the seedex? I missed the Cyclamen Societies deadline altogether this year, so what little specific seed I have salvaged will come the srgc seedex's way.
Cyclamen rohlfsianum - woken up by some watering in August is flowerin nowSuch colouring! "Delicious" !!

This Cyclamen hederifolium was bought 11 years ago from a Dutch gardener and obviously belonged to a strain - label unfortunately lost. Does anybody know the name?
(https://up.picr.de/36984810da.jpg)
I have one very similar and they were sold under the 'Silverme' label/strain - could be one of themThank You, Graeme! As far as I remember the label was ´Ice Green´, but that may have been just the name of Jan Bravenboer´s nursery where the gardener probably bought either plants or seed.

There was also an 'Ivy Ice' Series of C. hederifolium that was marketed by garden centres a while ago. "A new set of Autumn flowering cyclamen bred to produce lots of flowers with attractively marbled leaves in their first year."Thank You, this seems more likely. Jan named a strain of Cyclamen purpurascens ´Green Ice´, but I don´t know of a strain of Cyclamen hederifolium of the same nae.
Graeme, have another read of the June CS Journal Pages 44/5David at the moment I have everything in boxes so the chances of locating it less than zero its a pity they don''t put a scanned in copy of the journal in the members area - or in fact e-mail a PDF out to everyone
Graeme,thanks David - I had e-mailed in for a CSE list but not had anything yet but an acknowledgment in June
Assuming you sent your application form to Arthur Nicholls ""Distribution will start in mid-October and will take four to six weeks so please don't enquire about missing seeds until December""
""CSE, Peter Moore and Jan Bravenboor seed will be listed separately. The list will be available on the Society website, or by emailing seedorders@cyclamen.org ""

I have a question for the experts: I attach photos of a Cyclamen found in the north of Peleponnese (Greece). I have found different Names in the literature which describe it as a subspecies of C. rhodium or C. repandum. However, I also found some indication that it is now recognised as a separate species: C. peleponnesiacum. Can you help me? I need the information for a publication...Cyclamen rhodium ssp peloponnesiacum
Thank you, SJW! Your answer corresponds to what I was told by Dr. Ottmar Funk today, a German Cyclamen specialist. The name is now C. rhodium spp. peleponnesiacum
I have the same problem with Cyclamen rohlfsianum. I grow mine on a windowsill and do not start watering till the flowers appear. The flowers come first and the leaves grow once I start watering. I think they grow tall because they are not getting enough light.There appears to be a genetic element too: One plant always has leaves emerging before the flowers, the leaves get big, and flowers are tall and quite dark pink.
""CSE, Peter Moore and Jan Bravenboor seed will be listed separately. The list will be available on the Society website, or by emailing seedorders@cyclamen.org ""
The seed page on the Cyclamen Society website lists the email as seeds@cyclamen.orgI have had an e-mail from the membership e-mail address today
Are both email addresses valid? A friend had emailed to the address David listed above.
I’m yet to receive my seed this year. I don’t know if there has been a delay in this year’s distribution? I had requested the CSE/ PM/ JB seed list to be emailed when it was released. I noticed yesterday that the 2019 list is now on their website.
Hello,please find some pictures of our garden, 2 weeks ago.
Eleven years ago I received seed of C. elegans ex Iran, the seedlings are flowering between November and January. Recently there were doubts whether these are pure C. elegans, any help available?
could someone remind me how to sow Cyclamen purpurascens?
hot / cold, light / dark?
and if the GA3 works on this cyclamen?
these seeds were stored for a few months in the dry ...
last year, I only got one germination.
