Should they all be entered under Cyclamen persicum?
Mostly they come without any tag at all, some I have entered in the past in the database under the name; Cyclamen 'Magic Flames' as that was imprinted on the pots.
Cyclamen 'Magic Flames'
Some sites call it Cyclamen persicum 'Magic Flames' others simply Cyclamen Magic Flames, I guess that is a series name?
Now I have bought other Florist's Cyclamen, some again without a tag or imprinted name on the pots, how do I enter them???

I think 'Magic Flames' is the name of a mini-cyclamen, a fragrant one as I recall, and I think there is or was a Cyclamen nursery in Europe named "Magic Flames."

I would enter photos of florist's Cyclamen under C. persicum unless I knew the cultivar name.

Yes, Zuzu, they have a delicious fragrance and they are the mini-cyclamen, I did a search and yes ' Magic Flames' seems to be related to a nursery in Flanders;

so I think I'd better move the already entered pics to Cylamen persicum?

Yes, if they aren't the fragrant minis, they should move to C. persicum.

I think all of the miniatures are fragrant and some of the larger C. persicum are fragrant too, but Magic Flames is a specific cultivar, so it's best to enter them under C. persicum unless you're sure.
