I investigated on the Cyclamen Society website, and concluded, to my amazement, that the plants I saw in London were indeed C. persicum cvs. I guess that under the right conditions of temperature and water, they thrive in less-than frigid conditions. It was around 4 C when I was there.Thanks for your advice.Dell , in wintry West Virginia

I agree that they are probably C. persicum. At least in the US, it is
the only one commonly available in nurseries, and only in the winter.
The other (more beautiful and much less prone to fungal problems)
cyclamens are only available through specialty nurseries, such as
Digging Dog, up the coast in Albion; I also have C. hederifolium and C.
coum and one that Mary Sue gave me, which I have lost the tag for. Mary
Sue, do you remember sending me some corms a year or so ago, and which
sp. they were? Thanks to everyone for the Horticultural expertise on
this list. Jana Mariposa/Mariposa Habitat Nursery Santa Rosa CA
