With the twitchy weather, we've also had C. hederifolium pop up some flowers in the last two weeks. I have some hederifolium seedlings that have not gone dormant as well. A lot of my volunteers are 'complaining' about a how cool the summer has been so far... Merrill in Palo Alto, where summer is forecasted to be here Thursday... (and only Thursday...) -----Original Message----- From: pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Mary Sue Ittner Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 12:51 PM To: Pacific Bulb Society Subject: [pbs] Cyclamen question Dear All, I mentioned recently that we have had late rain in our Mediterranean climate accompanied by cool temperatures and a lot of fog since then which has meant that the temperatures have remained cool. Cyclamen cilicum has decided to bloom and others that are dormant until late fall are putting out new leaves. My usual procedure is to respond to my plants so if they start into growth I water them. But we could get what people think of as summer weather anytime between now and October. Would I stop watering then? Any advice from others who have experienced this in a rogue year. This no doubt happens in the UK? Thanks in advance. Mary Sue _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php
