These 3 photos are some of cyclamen grown from seed, in bloom now, sent to me by Bjs. Thank you Bjs.
This is the first time they have flowered. I can't remember which ones these were because the label faded!!! (supposed to be permanent ink!!) These are very tiny flowers.
I have leaves showing for one other sort, but have seen nothing yet from the other seeds you sent to me.
I sowed them all at the same time, some in the ground & some in pots. Nothing at all showing yet from the ones in pots - I am still hoping!
The leaves of the other seeds are just about showing next to these on the right.

Shirl others if different will be C. Cilicium,And probably the winter one C. Coum Leaves first on them.
any in pots would benefit from a good soaking with the rain at this time of year.

They have been outside Bjs & I keep hoping. They certainly got a good soaking last night!! It has rained again this morning too & looks unsettled for the day!

Aren't they lovely? Mine are just starting now, too. They are cyclamen hederifolium, and when the flowers fade, they produce beautiful marbled leaves which last right through the winter - really good value!
