Thanks for all the info. I did indeed get tubers--not from Bulbmeister or
Heronwood, though. With your advice at hand, I may give them another try.
Ever since I saw wild cyclamen growing in the mountains above Beirut, and
indeed in any likely spot in the city where they could get a hold, I loved
them. Huge range of colors, from pure white with a red eye to deep magenta,
not forgetting the pink variety with darker pink freckles.
