The CSE species were listed in the June journal, and a varying number of collections were available. Sometimes I would receive one packet of a requested...
The subject of CSE seed availability has been raised before under various headings but John Lonsdale has typically raised a number of interesting questions...
Dear Martin Thanks for this very detailed and informative discourse. The background information suggests to me that Cyclamen may be facultative outcrossers and...
I was recently approached by a wholesale nursery in Oregon regarding a source for 'Odorella', supposedly a hybrid originating from a cross of persicum and...

Does anyone when the seeds will arrive for USA members? I see that a delay was caused by the postal service. Last year they arrived here 12-18-06. My first...
Thank you, everyone, for your very thorough responses to my question about 'Odorella'. Overall, my impression from your responses is that no one thinks this...

When is a specific Cyclamen plant (hardy species only) mature and what is the ultimate leaf size? I have been growing hederifolium and coum for 20+ years and...
I was astounded at the large, very long, narrow, beautifully patterned leaves on one of a friend's hederifoliums. The next year I went to take photos of it...
Russ, I think you have some work ahead of you. I too have huge lack of consistency from one year to the next. Just when I think I have a wonderful leaf,...

Thanks Nina, I appreciate the perspective. My limited attempts to grow seedlings from plants selected for bloom time has not been productive. Plus it seems the...
Robin: Have you made any observations regarding climatic issues such as temperature, rainfall or sunlight as it relates to leaf size or plant vigor. As you...

Hi, I am not sure of my chemistry here as it's been a long time since I've been a "real" chemist, but aren't there some compounds which cause excessive green...
Dear USA Members, An update on the seed situation; I now have the seeds back from testing at DEFRA (I have had them here for more than a week now), but I am...
Thanks for the Update Tim. I think most of us over here are just glad that we are able to participate after the new regulations that went into effect a few...
Can anyone help me with the name of this cyclamen? The pot holds a mixed bunch of left-over seeds, mostly from my garden, that I wasn't really expecting to...
Mary, it looks like C. cilicium to me, I think that's the basal blotch formation. It would flower late autumn, the leaves small and oblong shape. It probably...
I've had C hederifolium in my garden in NE Hampshire UK for about 40 years. Their leaves now cover several square yards. Yes, I agree that's lazy gardening,...

Mark Thanks for your help. For the moment I'll label it cilicium but are there any other likely possibilities with a basal blotch as I am not sure how well it...
Hi MaryRose, which Cyclamen seeds were you likely to have collected ? The picture you show looks like a slightly abnormal specimen anyway so ident would be...
Thank you for the input Arthur, Interesting that you not the size with the silver leaved forms, especially. I have not grown the silver leaved forms all that...
Mark, C.cilicium is a very pretty plant, delicate in a appearance but quite ... Your comment above reminds me to ask you and the group about cilicium. I know...
I guess we have similar climates, I think C.cilicum is tough temperature wise. I've grown mine mainly in the shelter of bushes and it seems to be ok. I also...
I am unable to see any photos posted onto cyclamen L. Can someone tell me how to view them please. I get this message where the photo should be Attachment(not...
