Cyclamen leaves Part 2 - Graecum



Cyclamen graecum is famous for having some of the best leaf forms of all Cyclamen. Here are just a few;

First two are Cyclamen graecum graecum - grown from seed collected by Melvyn Jope. 

The third one is just graecum with no further information.

The fourth one is supposed to be C. graecum anatolicum and you can see it's much smaller than the others.

The fifth silver/pewter one is "Rhodope" named after a location in Crete.

The final one is supposed to be the Monte Smith form from Rhodes (anatolicum), again it's tiny.
