A field of Wild Cyclamen for Brian


A field of Wild Cyclamen for Brian

I couldn't help but stop the car and get out to take some pictures. It was amazing, fields and slopes full of Cyclamens.

It is a lovely sight. They grow very well in the olive groves as well....and usually under the nets.

Are they native or just have naturalized over many years?

I'm not 100% sure. There are a lot of flowers from bulbs all over the island so maybe they are native. I will do some research. (later)
