The photo order was reversed. The first photo is "pink flowers in July". The white flower was blooming in November. Tallahasse is right in the middle of North Florida and is very humid. The cyclamens are growing under trees in a thin layer of soil over heavy clay.

Can anyone in UK explain what is changing in regards to donating seed to UK next year. I have heard that I will need a phyto to donate seed to RHS Lily Group and SRGC.

You're lucky you're in the far northwestern part of Florida because I have had a couple customers comment that cyclamen did not live long or prosper in the southern part of the state. I'm guessing a few degrees less heat, a tiny bit higher latitude, inland location, and perhaps a tiny bit less humidity contribute to your success. Your plant(s) looks happy. We're expecting 20 F or so tonight in Southwestern Oregon about 14 miles in from the Pacific Ocean. I stashed most of the C. graecums under Reemay or in the enclosed greenhouse. We'll see how the few I left out in the nursery survive along with several other cyclamen species and other bulbs. It was 31 F at 5 p.m. and dropping... Several of the more tender cyclamen species such as balearicum are in my "alpine house" but I covered them with Reemay and left the thermometer under the cloth. The Reemay really does work - even 2 or 3 degrees of warmth can make a significant difference in survivability. My "alpine" house is nothing more than a small greenhouse with double-walled poly called Solexx on the sides; the upper ends of single poly are left open for year-round ventilation. The lemon tree and a lot of things I would have thought tender just seem to do well as long as I don't overwater. The Solexx is opaque and does a super job of diffusing the light.
