> I have hesitated to send seed of these C. confusum plants to exchanges because I thought they would have crossed with the ordinary hederifolium growing not far away. If they have a doubled chromosome number, however, does that mean they can't hybridize with the diploid typical C. hederifolium? Would it be useful to provide seed this summer to the BX/SX? That's what the description on the Cyclamen Society website says. The two species can't hybridize. Cyclamen confusum is hardy here, growing in clay soil. There is a fairly attractive "red" form; mediocre picture attached. Bob Nold Denver, Colorado -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
