Cyclamen and Alyssum at Seaport Village, San Diego, CA.

thats a beautiful sight,

Pretty planting :o)

Yorkshire, Terratoonie:

Thanks! These Cyclamens were planted on the north side of a seafood restaurant.

WOw thats beautiful!

Linsuffolk:

Thanks! :>)

Such a pretty display

Sixpence:

Thanks! I really liked this Cyclamen display, too! I wish I could get some to grow in my yard. :>)

They look like the big ones, perhaps you could try growing the smaller ones which survive better over here outside.

Sixpence:

The reason why they don't do well in my garden is: because it's too warm and dry. These plants were growing right by San Diego Bay where the temps tend to be a little cooler, with more humidity.

Oh I see now yes these are winter flowers over here but sever frost will kill the big flowering ones off here the little ones survive better.

Sixpence:

Yes, Cyclamen like it on the cool side. They don't particularly like 80F/27C plus temps with low humidity...like we get during Santa Ana Wind season (fall -early spring). The day I took this pic it was 80F/27C., luckily they were growing on the north side of a restaurant.

Well its given a lovely display

How very english.......lol

Dottydaisy2:

Very English! :>) They're not the easiest plants to grow here...and they can be very expensive also.

Cheap as chips here....a quaint old english saying.
