white cyclamen

theyre lovely,Neellan.

Thankyou Suey Eileen and Hywel they are so delicate and I love the heart shaped leaves

Cyclamen hederifolium,(a.k.a. neapolitanum) come in many shades of pink and, in the wild (S. Europe & Mediterranean regions), the white form is very rare. However, in British gardens, The white var. grows more strongly and spreads more rapidly than the typical form. I don't know the reason for this 'botanical mystery'. I wonder if anyone else does.

Thanks jb mystery remains alas as answers I have none!! perhaps as you say someone does
