Dennis, C. creticum is in the repandum (or rhodium) complex and as such has very thin leaves - it won't take any sun. The flowers are white or rarely pale pink and very small and insubstantial. It is scented though. The leaves can be nicely marked but are frequently not. It is a miffy thing and extremely prone to over watering - something that is very easy to do because it is very late into growth and flower. I grow maybe a dozen plants and a few dozen seedlings in a cold greenhouse and they are nice enough but I doubt it would make much of a house plant. J.

Cyclamen creticum--winter growing, fresh seed I have a strong affinity for greek things, particularly from Crete... but I investigated this plant on cyclamen.org and found that this is not a hardy species. I grow some irises from Crete which have proven to be more cold hardy than irises from the mainland of Greece. That's a shocker! So I had hopes for this Cyclamen, but to no avail. Does anyone out there have experience growing this Cyclamen as an indoor houseplant? Dennis in Cincinnati
