That's pretty Amy :-)))

Thanks Mageth / Annella , the daffs have only just started to open , I thinks we are behind most people this year ...

very nice..........

They look so pretty together, Amy, lovely.

lovely together amy, so pretty :o)

I agree perfect partners. I this a new Cyclamen or is it from last year, I lost all mine thet were susposed to be outdoor type but they just went to mush with the bad weather;0(

Thanks girls ...I have had this cyclamen for years Carole and some others the same in the garden , I'm very pleased with them ,they have been flowering for weeks ... in fact I must look back at my photos to see when I put the first photo on here ....

I've checked and the first flowers on the cyclamen were the 22nd January , that's almost 2 months of continuous flowers and they look as if they will go on for longer still .. :o)

Is Coum the Name Amy?

Yes Carole the coum ( jan. to march ) is the winter one and hederifolium is the autumn one ( sept to Nov. )
I have bought some of the brightly coloured ones that you often see but they don't seem to last outside ...

Beautiful, I must get some coum. When is the best time to set them Amy? in the Autumn. No daffs out here yet :-( Set my wild stocks out amongst the trees yesterday :-))) So exciting, I set out about 50 plants, I'm so pleased they survived the Winter in the cold frame and now we have them, we can have seeds forever, thanks Amy.

Hi Dawn , I have seen some of the coum in pots , i think if they are in pots you can set them in whenever you like ..... I saw some on the market stall the other day ....
I'm so pleased that your stocks have survived , they must be quite hardy because mine have been out all winter , 50 plants is a fabulous start , I wonder if they flower in their first year I can't wait to see them ...

Dawn , I can't help laughing , when I went back in the autumn to collect the seed they were so overgrown with nettles and other wild stuff , supposing they don't turn out to be stocks ....LOL.. you will put me in the stocks !!!

Hi Amy, I'll look out for coum in pots Amy, thanks.
I do hope the stocks flower this year, we'll have to wait and see, its so exciting.
Oh Amy, lol, if they turn out to be weeds its not a problem, it wont be the first time I've nurtured weeds, ha ha. I just appreciate the trouble you went to, to collect them and send them to me.

Lovely together.

Lovely spring pic Amy.....

Thanks Amy will look out for Coum, bought the brightly coloured late summer ones they but have al turned to mush.
