One species missing from the bloom sequence list is C. rohlfsianum. For me, they start to bloom right after the graecums, in late September and early October. I leave them outside in pots until the first frost, and shuttle them inside and outside for a few weeks before the final transfer to the cool greenhouse. I'm sure that the bloom time could be moved backwards or forwards depending on when they get their first watering. Mine bloom moderately well, with a couple of dozen flowers (not all at once) on each plant, but nowhere as spectacular as the ones pictured in the AGS or SRGC bulletins. I think my leaves are as good or better, however. Each plant has distinct leaves (and flowers), and if you didn't know better you'd swear they were different species. My four (or is it five) 'mother' rohlfsianums take up far too much room in the greenhouse, but are well worth it. They are a bit crowded in 8 to 10 inch pots, but seem happy. My policy has been to leave them in the same pot until it splits, which doesn't take all that long. Dry out completely in the summer, start watering again on Labor Day (first week of Sept). The tubers are decidedly irregular, with widely separated growing points, and unlike most other cyclamen can be divided with a well placed cut. Not recommended for the faint of heart... --Roy NW of Boston, where the snow is changing to rain, and C. balearicum is just starting to bloom in the greenhouse.
