I was very lucky to be in the Pelopponese with Melvyn Jope, Peter Moore and Roy Skidmore for 8 days a fortnight ago. I have a big interest in Cyclamen leaves and in particular Hederifolium and graecum. Here are some that we saw.

And some Graecum

Welcome to the forum!
The selection of leaves is amazing

Hi Pat, thanks for sharing your plants, with foliage like that the flowers would be a bonus, Welcome to the forum.

What a variation! It seems hederifolium is trying to surpass graecum!
Never saw a Cylamen with Galanthus flowers - nature's caprices? ;)

Galanthus cyclameneus we called it
-
Ahhh, the beautiful - and rare - Cyclamen galanthiflorum!
-
Nice little dog there too. :D
-
Wonderful shapes and markings on the Cyclamen leaves, Pat, and I love the planting of Graecum in the rocky crevices - the leaves look wonderful in this setting. Looking forward to seeing more of your photos :)
-
Stunning, Pat. Particularly 2009_11140139.JPG with it's flower and those breathtaking leaves. Never seen a graecum like that before! :o :o I'll have one of each for my collection please. ;D ;D ;) Thanks for sharing the pics.
-
Welcome Pat ...great start!
-
Welcome Pat and thanks for the photos - always great to see them in the wild.
-
Great set of photos Pat and thanks for showing. :o ::)
Loved the combination with white tall flowers ::) A very rare one I guess. ;D Maybe something to strive for?
Did You also see variation in flower types and colours?
Looking forwards to further posting
Kind regards

Very nice and interesting pictures Pat,good to see.
I read in Jim Archibalds latest list that we now have a new sub species of Cyclamen hederifolium-crassifolium.Are any of your pictures of it?

Tony
The new sub species was described in the June Journal of the Cyclamen Society. If you are good I will let you read my copy when you visit 8)

Hi Tony
The last 3 plants are from sites where ssp crassifolium is known to grow and I would be happy to call them that. I am not a botanist or a scientist just someone who grows plants, however I have been involved with the society field trips that led to to the conclusions regarding ssp crassifolium and cyclamen confusum as it is now. I do feel we still have work to do to determine the distribution because there are sites where it seems ssp crassifolium and ssp hederifolium grow together or close to each other. I know it is not very scientific but you get a gut feeling for what you are looking at and can tell the difference but as I say more work needs to be done and possibly new material collected for research.
