Author Message   Terryk  Posted on Monday, November 15, 2004 - 06:41 am EST :    I am so excited, a place that we can all migrate to for discussing our experience with growing these beautiful plants, posting our questions and sharing photos. From some of the posts previously, I think this should be a very exciting new forum. Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Frostycurls  My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden Posted on Monday, November 15, 2004 - 10:15 am EST :    This is exciting, I just ordered seeds from Seneca Hill. They don't have many left, mostly hederifolium, I had hoped for coum, but I decided the hederifolium seeds would probably be a good place to start. Fingers crossed.

You will probably have an opportunity to order more next year since you ordered now. I find Seneca Hill very nice to deal with. Ellen's instructions are more the traditional method as you will also find on the cyclamen society web page. I found Tim's less intimidating and much easier to follow. I did not go to the great lengths to insure darkness. Have fun! Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Gardenbug  Posted on Monday, November 15, 2004 - 04:57 pm EST :    Penny, YOU starting seeds? Hurray! I just gave one of my young cyclamen hederifolium seedlings to a friend for her birthday today. I know she'll baby it.

Just keep them moist by watering about 1x per week. If you keep them somewhere a bit dark they don't dry out as quickly. You will also know when they are needing to be watered by the grit turning a lighter color and the pots feeling lighter. Marie, you sure are a wonderful friend to share your plants. I bet your friend was thrilled. I love forcing bulbs and giving them as Christmas presents. I am sure I will have enough cyclamen plants this Christmas to give as gifts.

Galanthophile - Ann (Northern England), Zone "8"   Frostycurls  My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden Posted on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 10:23 am EST :    Yes ME Marie, can you believe it? last week clematis and soon cyclamen Thanks Terry, I'm excited and it's nice to know they should germinate much quicker than the clematis seed I just planted. Penny Oregon Zone 7   Terryk  My Weather My Time Posted on Saturday, December 18, 2004 - 06:31 pm EST :    Penny and Anne, do you have any seeds germinating yet? I ran out of soil and decided to resume transplanting after the holidays. Merry Christmas everyone! Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Frostycurls  My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Saturday, December 18, 2004 - 10:47 pm EST :    Unfortunately Seneca Hill ran out of seed so they returned my check with a promise to send me their seed list next year. Oh well it will give me a longer time to read and absorb all of your experiences and maybe when I actually try seed they'll grow. Penny Oregon Zone 7   Terryk  My Weather My Time Posted on Saturday, December 18, 2004 - 10:54 pm EST :    Oh sorry to hear it Penny. I wish I had some seed to share with you. Terryk - NY, Zone "6"
