Author Message   Galanthophile  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Friday, December 01, 2006 - 01:09 pm EST :    This tuber is in my raised bed and is huge! I'll try and take another photo with a ruler so you can understand the scale. There are some smaller seedlings around the edge which I plan to remove and give away. The main plant is about 10 years old. Galanthophile - Ann (Northern England), Zone "8"   Geoforce  My Weather Posted on Friday, December 01, 2006 - 01:32 pm EST :    A real giant Ann. Based on the fern and other leaves, it appears to be over a foot across and maybe 18". Does it still give a large amount of bloom? If in proportion to its size, it must be dazzling. Geoforce - Pennsylvania, Zone "USDA 7a"   Carol23  Posted on Friday, December 01, 2006 - 01:34 pm EST :    That is huge, Ann! It looks extremely happy. You should plant a couple of the seedlings in your garden and see how they turn out.

Do you have to remove lots of self sown seedlings every year?

It's all so full. No hollow areas. Not even any thin areas. How about some measurements. Anne, Washington State, Zone 5   Loes  Posted on Monday, December 04, 2006 - 03:07 am EST :    Ann,you must be very pleased with that one,so big.did you place a picture when it was in flower? Loes - noord holland,netherlands, Zone "?"   Galanthophile  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Monday, December 04, 2006 - 01:07 pm EST :    Here it is with my hand above it. I should have measured it but couldn't find a ruler. This is how it looked in September Galanthophile - Ann (Northern England), Zone "8"   Loes  Posted on Monday, December 04, 2006 - 03:29 pm EST :    it`s even bigger than I thought,must have been more than a hundred flowers. Loes - noord holland,netherlands, Zone "?"   Valia  My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Monday, December 04, 2006 - 07:22 pm EST :    ... and the corm must be biger than a watermelon. Anne, Washington State, Zone 5   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Monday, December 04, 2006 - 09:50 pm EST :    That really is an amazing plant Ann! The flowers were fantastic too. Is it setting seed? Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Gardenfiend  My Weather Posted on Tuesday, December 05, 2006 - 03:32 am EST :    A fantastic plant! What have you been feeding it? Gardenfiend - Germany, Zone "7a"   Matthias  Posted on Tuesday, December 05, 2006 - 06:26 am EST :    A fantastic plant, Ann, and certainly an example why hederifolium and less aggressive Cyclamen species should not be mixed directly, at least not in the garden. Matthias - Southern Germany, Zone "7"   Galanthophile  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Tuesday, December 05, 2006 - 10:54 am EST :    It does have alot of seed pods on it and I don't feed it! I shudder to think what it would be like if I did. I moved it from its original position under a camelia because it was getting too big but it is romping away being cossetted in this raised bed...
