Cyclamen flowering in October.

Take more tan a sprinkling of slate to stop them

If you have spring flowering ones they are a different species to these, probably Cyclamen Repandum.

Useful colour for this time of the year.........

They look lovely !
I was sent some tiny little plants last year by a friend didn't think they'd flower this year , in fact I didn't think they'd survive I planted watered and forgot about them oooops, but they are all flowering ! Can't wait for them to spread :-)
