Not as lovely and special as Rick´s ´Ruby Baker´, but at least G. reginae-olgae Tilebarn Jamie´ grows well in my garden, and potted, too.
The 'drops are pretty with cyclamen as company, aren't they?
I wonder whether these forms may be regarded as var. elwesii or monostictus?
These terms are not always helpful. My understanding is that in var. monostictus the (single) mark on the inner petals is should be confined to the half of the petal nearest the tip. If it extends further it's not var. monostictus so I guess it must be var. elwesii, even though we generally think of var. elwesii as having two distinct marks
Thank You for Your answer, Alan! Most of the autumn-flowering G. elwesii I grow are var. monostictus, like this one.
Others show a mark almost extended to the base of the inners, like this one. Someone suggested, that this should be called var. monostictus, too, as it´s still one single mark, simply larger. I wonder whether this is the scientific or just a personal view.
