Michael,

That's impressive foliage!!  I've seen speckling on the leaves of repandums before, but don't recall anything like THAT much in the way of markings.  It certainly stands out in your pic of the group of them.  Very, very nice!! 8)

They are Repandum with Creticum and Balericum, I just save my own seed and pick out the best foliage forms,so I am not sure what has crossed with what. That group are notoriously promiscuous.

They are all exquisite, especialy the flowers which are very pale with a deeper picotee edge.

The spring cyclamen season is just starting in Newfoundland with the blooming of coums.  In my basement window is where I grow the tender (for Newfoundland) species such as repandum.  And the fourth pic is my out-of-season purpurascens grown from seed.  The seed were sown about 2 years ago and grown on continually with this the first blooming.  This one is hardy here and will go in the garden as soon as our weather warms up.

Cyclamen 2008

Another pot smasher - Cyclamen graecum from 1985 Cyclamen Society seed.  It has a penchant for pricey pots and if smashes the new round one I put it in tonight it will be in dire trouble.  One of the easiest Cyclamen to identify - always perfectly shaped and reminding me of a coconut. I fully expected the lower part to be square.

On the other side of the spectrum is C. rohlfsianum 1986  (last shot) - always bizarrely shaped here. As lifeless as it looks it relaibly comes to life and blooms, unless it is watered when dormant and rots. Leslie, I bet this is what a deep-fried Mars bar looks like.

(Whoops, Maggi could you move this to Cyclamen Autumn 2008 and cancel this New Topic folder I made in error? Sorry.... 'tis done, John! Maggi))

Later. Maggi's in bed for now.

That's a smashing plant all right. :D Will be a great show when it's in bloom.

Some Cyclamen from my garden:

- C. intaminatum, grown from seed, first flowering now
- C. (ex!) cilicium Album, also from seed, first time flowering

Hans,

This time I am the one to agree with you 100%  ;)

Thomas, nice to see these species in flower already , i will have to wait at least 6- 8 weeks before they will flower here.

At the moment C. hederifolium and C. africanum are starting and C. colchicum has young buds.

Thanks for the correction, Hans and Oron! I had a look at the Cyclamen bible and do agree with you!!
The seeds were a gift from a friend from Southern Germany  ;D so they have to be named as "ex cilicium Album"

No Luc, my plants are growing on a North-East facing wall - unprotected. They seem to enjoy it!

Today I found a plant in flower labelled C. libanoticum - but it looks like mirabile :-\ Will post a photo later.
