Marg Jenkins - potting on Cyclamen
This afternoon, (recognising the 2 metre separation requirement) I spent nearly an hour watching Marg, and photographing the fascinating procedure of removing a 10 year old Cyclamen hederifolium from its large bowl shaped pot. All of the plants (other than the matriarch) involved in the "transplant" were self-sown! The exercise was triggered by Trevor Nottle's more general article on the species, where he mentioned the "mystical practices" involved in growing from seed.
I'll run through the procedure as demonstrated to me, and you can decide whether black magic is involved!

She certainly needs all the space that she can get - she's 12.5cm across and 10 years old!
