invasives," Cyclamen coum. It is less enthusiastic here than C.
hederifolium, but I imagine someone saw the famous colony of it at
Boyd Kline's garden in southern Oregon and "totally freaked out."

sows everywhere here.

I was told in 2012 by someone from British Columbia, and I think the
occurence was on Vancouver Island, that coum is beginning to run wild in one
or two woodland areas there. I suppose there's always the concern about
eliminating native species. Where the concern about coum in Oregon has
originated, who knows? It surely can't be from Boyd's garden.

I had to deliberately sow it into my grass in the garden and even then, it's
only doing so-so, although better than hederifolium. I have the occasional
plant pop up in my discarded dirt pile, but given how long I've been here,
I'd actually expect it to be popping up in a lot of places, and it is not.
I have much more serious concerns about English ivy, blackberries, scotch
broom and cotoneaster....

Bob is correct, anti-cyclamen people are not allowed (I'll add "period") .

the cold division)
