I love Cyclamen - they're so cheerful at this time of year and their marbled leaves add interest when there's no flower too. Practically perfect plants!
Lovely photo, they almost look a bit speckled. I really love the pattern on the leaves too. This weekend I was putting greenery and pinecones into my front planter box and noticed that my violets are still in bloom too, I imagine the -9 weather we are supposed to get tomorrow might do them in though.
In Canada they only sell this plant in florist shops in pots for gifts and I have given it many times to friends and family. Does it grow all year round in English gardens?
The cyclamen has a very nice bloom. Sorta reminds me of a vinca minor bloom. And the leaf belongs to the rattlesnake plaintain family, or though it has characteristics as though it does.
I adore cyclamens..yours is beautiful Louise..maybe I should try growing one outside..I've managed to kill every single one inside so far! Gx

ReplyDeleteYour cyclamen looks great, I always give my mum one in July and she puts it outside after flowering but it ends up dying.
ReplyDeleteIts lovely...there is a white one on my livingroom table.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to see any sort of flower in the garden this time of year. A lovely photo :)

A nice little splash of colour.
ReplyDeleteUtterly seasonal and charming.
ReplyDeleteThose cyclamen are lovely. Anything that brings colour to a garden this time of year is worth its weight in gold!
ReplyDeleteCyclamen are so lovely, I love the tiny ones.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks rather magical! Very pretty indeed.
