Surfacing corms

This reminded me of a recent discussion on the SRGC forum that you may find interesting (if you are not already aware of it - see pages 20-21 in the "Cyclamen 2010" thread):

Thanks, Lori, I wasn't aware of this thread - it is so much out there! Think I will cover the corms with some soil and pebbles.

Here's another observation of corms (C. hederifolium) above ground (and seemingly unaffected), this one at Wisley Garden from an SRGC thread.

Thanks, Lori!
I visited Wisley in the summer of 2009 and noticed the Cyclamen corms above ground but in the wild I have never seen them surfacing. Anyway, I have covered my corms with a soil/sand mix to protect them a little.

And what should I see as I was out mucking about in the yard... an exposed corm here too, seemingly without ill effect, on C. purpurascens.

A lady from NE Massachusetts found a cyclamen in her lawn(!) that was growing largely upside down and on top of the soil -- apparently with no problems.  Assurances that cyclamen in the lawn are not the usual here.
