I have 5 packets of T+M Cyclamen Persicum Giganteum Scentsatuin Mixed.
These are intended for Greenhouses - apparently they won't survive outdoors. So they might be of interest to all of you who grow decorative greenhouse plants ?
(I bought them by accident).

Thankyou for offering your seeds roofgardener. we are very cold here and I don`t heat my greenhouse over the winter so they would not suit me . Out of interest how on earth did you manage to buy 5 packets of the wrong seeds

Ummm..... I didn't read the description properly on the T+M website. At the time, I thought I was buying something that I could plant outdoors. But sadly not It wasn't TOO bad - it was part of a much larger order.

At least you didn't find out AFTER you'd planted them, Roofy.
Begonia seed is like dust, but the little phial of pot begonia seed I was given 4yrs ago, achieved a couple of dozen beautiful plants which I have in tubs, by the south-facing house wall, and they have been really reliable.

Hmmm... I tried Begonias, but they all died shortly after germination I've never tried them since... perhaps I will next year ?
