Hi Dee,

What a great show in your greenhouse. Those bits and pieces look pretty special.
The 4th picture of the hederifolium is really lovely. the leaf looks so good.
Your coum favourite leaf has good patterning on it. The white flower sets it off. Worth collecting seed from that one...

What's happening in my greenhouse? I've taken some photographs from my greenhouse this morning...

You've got some good looking plants in the glasshouse, Dee. Like Roy, I think that the hederifolium in the fourth photo is fantastic.

Your plants are looking good too, Roy; in the persicum photo (the last photo), there is one plant that caught my eye. It's the plant just above the one in the bottom centre with the single flower. The plant I'm referring to has deep green leaves with silver ribbing (the label is in the left hand side of the pot).

You both really ought to be exhibiting with plants of the quality in your glasshouses :-)

Thanks Tim.

I bought that hederifolium into the house to photograph, as the light was fading, and I left it indoors overnight. Looked at it again today and the outer leaves are now yellowing....a lesson learned there I think :-(

Very nice plants from both of you.I have various things in flower but cannot take pics at the moment because of the rain but here are two from last week. Both the pseudibericum and parviflorum are just starting

Unfortunately I don't have a greenhouse and I may as well admit now I cannot grow Cyclamen in my too dry, chalky, exposed garden but I can admire yours and I do love them.
I said before that I prefer the leaves to the flowers on most of them as I don't particularly like pink/purple flowers but your white, plain leaved 'Golan Heights' has to be the exception Denise. It positively glows! Maybe I could find a nice, cool, corner in my garden and grow it in a pot:)

I too think Cyclamen coum Golan Heights looks good Dee. I have a special interest in this plant having found it on the Cyclamen Society field trip to Israel in 1990 but having tried to keep it going several times since know that it is not an easy plant to grow well. As you obviously do well with it I repeat Tim's suggestion that it would be good to see some of these plants at Wisley. No pressure!

I agree - these are all wonderful and it must be so nice to have so much in bloom at this time of year.

Tony, the flowers on your parviflorum look good, mine never grow so high above the leaves. The pseudibericum flower is a very pale colour, is it 'roseum' ? I've not got any that pale in my collection.

Wow, I never knew that. I know it was discovered on a Cyclamen Society Expedition, but for you to have found it Melvyn...how special is that!

Is the original plant still alive?

Moira, you may still be able to grow C. coum in your garden, under a shrub perhaps, to give them shelter. They grow under trees easily enough, which must be pretty dry.
There are some lovely white flowered ones, with both plain leaves and patterned leaves. Perhaps you'll spot a couple at Wisley on Saturday, that you may like to give a try.

I think this is the persicum you are referring to Tim.

Plant Forum

Plant Forum

The plant is still quite young, but has developing buds which hopefully will give a good flower display.
If all goes well there there could be seed set, and perhaps opportunity to see what the off spring will be like.
I do like the unusual veining on this plant.

I do have a 2nd plant which is very similar...and which has better bud development.


Plant Forum

They are to early in development for showing at Wisley this weekend, but perhaps when the April show comes along, I will be able to bring down...

I do like persicum...especially the patterning on the leaves. Not in the graecum class, but there are some out there which do not require flowers just to be admired.

PS...If this isn't the persicum you are referring to...whoops !!!

I have tried growing them before without much success. I get them to grow beautifully in other peoples gardens just not my own.

NO! I am only coming to look. Must not buy anything! :)

hi Dee

the parviflorum vary a bit in height,I think a lot depends on the light levels and this year it has been particularly dark and so they are taller.

Yes I think the pseudibericum is the form called roseum.It seems a daft name to me and was probably based on a couple of pink ones. I have 5 plants and they are all nearly white. I have 18 second generation seedlings coming on and a couple look like they will flower this year and so it will be interesting to see how the colour looks on those

I never thought about the light levels affecting the flowering heights, but now you mention it, quite a few of my plants have taller flowers this year. My parviflorum haven't flowered as yet, but they still look low in the pot.


I really like pseudibericum, I have to admit, the flowers in my collection are very uniform, the dark pink colour, ...but the leaves are very different; the shape of the leaves are the same, but the patterns vary.

If you get chance, could you post some of your pseudibericum when they're in flower please.

Tony I think the air movement is more important for the height. In my garden all leaves are flat on the ground and the flowers reach 3 cm

How lovely Tony,

There are lots of flowers on that first plant, so it must be a strong strain. The flower on the second photo is white isn't it?

I've never read or seen any info about white pseudibericum before. Are they plants you have grown from seed or plants you have purchased?
