Cyclamen 2015

[partisangardener]

Difficult, but I tend to do some guerrillagardening too. Not in the wild but in the city or village. Untended places where these plants would like to be and no relatives or rare plants live.
Here are some I like to introduce soon in my own garden. If they like it I know a nice place to set some free. But I ask the owner before.

Yes, unfortunately numbers were well down this year. There was a clash of dates and I know some of the regular exhibitors were at the AGS South West show. It was also scheduled a couple of weeks too early for rhodiums and repandum, at least for my plants up here in Yorkshire...

Cyclamen graecum in the garden today; grown from NARGS Seedex years ago,

Hi steve I though it was early this year, as you pointed out the rhodiums and repandums and there relatives have nearly got going, in my case anyway.

Possibly a repandum/rhodium/peloponnesiacum hybrid? The leaves don't look quite right for repandum. The repandum group is quite promiscuous in cultivation.

[Rimmer de Vries]

This cyclamen with large pale green- silver leaves just started blooming now (early spring) in my basement. i though it was a hederifolium but why is it blooming now? grown from mixed seeds from past seed ex separated out of common seed tray by bulb shape and root form and planted together in this 10" pan with other fall-winter blowing hederifolium.

I'm very pleased with this self-sown Cyclamen coum which has been flowering for months. Photographed on 8th February and still in flower now.

I'd be interested in people's opinions on this one.

I think I got it as C.creticum from Cyclamen Society seed. At some point it looks as if I had doubts and changed the label to "balearicum?" but I'm now thinking with such sharply toothed leaves and pure white flowers it might be creticum. There is a libanoticum mixed in that doesn't help and it's in an awkward position to photograph.

Only thing is it's probably 4-5 inches tall which seems a bit big?

[Melvyn Jope]

Hello Mark, it looks like C.creticum to me but as this group so readily hybridise one can never say so with absolute certainty.
