Oh shame on you Alex,Lol.
They grow wild on your doorstep so to speak.
Growing on Taygetos Mountains of Southern Greece.I think it is the only variety that likes to be fairly dry and warm, the ones shown have been in my glass house all summer and were moved outside for the Cyclamen Cilicium to start into growth at the end of August, they are also of Mediterranean origin as the name suggests.So happy plant hunting But don't get caught digging them up they are almost sure to be a protected species.

Oh no. Now you gave me an idea... I'm off hunting tomorrow Brian.
I must admit I've never seen them here. I've seen wild Cyclamens everywhere this year (which I will be digging up!) I have a protected species lily growing in my back garden.....shhhh
