This winter I decided that my cyclamen should no longer suffer imprisonment in pots in the shadehouse, where they lived an unhappy existence, either too wet or...
What a lovely story. I don't have anything like this, but the cyclamens I do have, mostly coum and hederifolium, seem quite happy, merrily seeding themselves....
Indeed, Barbara Knox-Shaw's account of setting her cyclamen free is the stuff of dreams many of us will never see, let alone be able to envision in dreams. I...
Barbara, Your tale of woodland clearing - especially removing periwinkle - is very inspiring. I have an area under birch trees that is filled with periwinkle...
Hi, I have never managed to flower Cyclamen rohlfsianum. I bought plants in flower but most years I get no buds forming. recently I've increased the winter...
It nice to hear about others people who have experience with Cyclamen. I'm just getting started. I have two Cyclamen plants and about 600 seeds of 10...
You are right about keeping the seeds in a dark place. Water them once after sowing and water again only when needed, when the ground or mixture is drying a...
I have Cyclamen hederifolium, cilicium, purpurascens, persicum, intaminatum, graecum (2 forms) and creticum all in flower at the same time. I am not aware of...

Hello Mark I am reasonably successful in getting my rohlfsianums to flower. I usually move them out of my plungebed in late spring and let them completely dry...

... Tim, Thanks very much for pointing that out. I've been searching the house for the usual loose, blue sheet, no wonder I couldn't find it. See you at the...
Hi, thanks for your reply. I decided to take a chance and give them a bit more water and so far all is ok, although the leaves are overtaking the buds that...
Greetings. I'm a new member, from 43 degrees South, at Tinderbox, Tasmania. Spring is here, apple trees are greening and drifts of daffodils are a delight. In...
Hello Ralph Funnily enough I have wondered about this, not just with cyclamen but with other plants too. I wondered if not watering for a few days might give...
Ralph Isn't the advice perhaps meant for bringing a dormant tuber into growth? Here the bulb growers deluge, and then withhold until top growth appears, which...

I apologize if I am missing something and should know better, but is it at all possible to have all those incredible plants identified? The density of bloom is...
Marcia, my own experience is that 'showable' plants represent a very small percentage of my collection of stock plants. I have 300+ plants in the glasshouses...
I would like to congratulate the growers, photographer and the Society for letting those unable to attend the Show see the winning plants. To choose between...
