Nosing around the cyclamen trials

Follow me around the Côte d'Azur!

I am still dreaming about the cheese in France. I ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner and it was all soft and scrumptious, I think they were various types of Comte. But, the other thing I love that starts with a C is Cyclamen, and indeed that's why I was in France in the first place - spending some time with my good friends at Morel on the Cote D'Azur.

You may remember that I visited last year, and recorded the lowdown here and here, but of course you can never ask too many questions, so I was back again with my nosey nature...

As before, there was lots to see - and we were straight to it, as Heloise and Sophie ran through the showcase. Great news, Absolu de Morel is now available in larger quantities of seed, but you have to move quick - Notcutts have had the exclusive on this for a few years now. In case you didn't know it's the most fragrant of all Cyclamen! It has a 'crown' too, can you see it?? That's what makes it a 'Victoria' type!
