Another daughter cyclamen

11 comments


I wrote a blog a while ago about the self sown seeds of an old cyclamen belonging to my late mother.
Well this is another of her babies.
The flowers are a rich cerise pink but they do not recurve as all the others do.

I still like it though, the edges are slightly frilly too.

It is isnt it. I have waited for the second flower just in case the first one was abnormal. but they are both the same.

SBG - had this seeded itself indoors or outside? Or maybe the greenhouse?

All my outdoor cyclamen are looking awful - I have a feeling this winter has been too much for most of them!

I wish I had taken them inside now :((

it is the large flowered houseplant. I collected the seed and sowed it indoors. the plants stay indoors all the time. when it has finished flowering I reduce watering and then let it go dormant. I put the pots in the coal house and then repot and start watering in august/september. My mums tuber is now 20+ yrs old.
