Author Message   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 - 09:00 pm EST :    Not sure which ones some of these are, maybe Tim you could help. Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 The next two are my c. hederifolium which I have posted before. Just wanted to show how they are progressing. The light silver ones are starting to show their marks more now.

Jgwoodard - TN, Zone "6b"   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - 04:18 am EST :    Thanks Joseph. These c. hederifolium I have saved to have indoors just to enjoy up close. I have a group of c. hederifolium pink flowered form that were slower to take off so another year indoors I don't think will hurt. I think the first photo may be c. coum, but not sure and the second photo does contain some c. coum 'christmas tree' form. My coum were much slower to get going (except for these) so I am going to hold off on planting them outdoors till next year so they can bulk up a bit. Photo 3 I am not sure of either but this may not be a species which will take my winters so until I know what I have I think it's best to keep them indoors too. I planted out some c. purpurascens into a shade bed but kept some of them for indoors too. I also planted out almost 100 of my c. hederifolium into a bed earlier this fall. Those will all be white flowering. Tim advised to keep some indoors just for the pleasure of having then up close and also as a precaution. I would hate to loose all of my cyclamen because I was too quick to get them into the garden. Of course when I say indoors I mean my basement room-the one that has no heat so it stays cooler than the rest of the house. Lots of windows make light better, but I still use grow lights. It's the closest thing to my greenhouse as I can get so far.

You will have quite the display in your garden in years to come. I guess i'll have to get me some of Tim's seed next year since I'll no longer have an excuse not to. :-) Jgwoodard - TN, Zone "6b"   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - 07:49 pm EST :    Yes Joseph, I think you'll enjoy them up close and in person more than via the internet. Does that mean you will be heading back to the states? Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Jgwoodard  Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - 08:50 pm EST :    I'm going back next summer to stay. Been away too long already. Jgwoodard - TN, Zone "6b"   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 04:50 am EST :    That's great news, especially for your "special friend". You can join us next year ordering cyclamen and growing them instead of lurking here in the forum. I think you'll enjoy them as much as you do your hellebores. Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Tim  Posted on Sunday, October 23, 2005 - 09:25 am EST :    Plants in photos 1 & 2 are all C. coum. Number 3 looks like graecum to me. All looking really good, Terry. What are you going to do with them all!? Looks like you've got some nice variation in leaf forms in those hederifolium too. Tim - Cambridgeshire, Zone "7 "   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Sunday, October 23, 2005 - 12:29 pm EST :    Thanks for your help Tim. This will help so much with some of my mystery pots. Those c. hederifolium are going to stay indoors, but I did get over 100 out into a new bed. Some of the ones in the bed are looking great too and are starting to sprout more leaves. Only one out there has flowered. I will try to get some posted if the pictures turned out well today. I have lots of c. hederifolium with pink flowers that need to bulk up and then I will get them out next year into the garden. Don't ask about what I will do with all of my c. graecum, mostly enjoy them indoors in the makeshift greenhouse (the famous unheated room). I think my climate just won't be good for c. graecum outdoors. I still have others that I am not sure of, so as time goes on, I will post again. Terryk - NY, Zone "6"
