Popping up in between Forget-me-not foliage.

David, these were gifted by Brian (BjS) some years ago and now pop up all over that border ... some a long way from where I planted them! Your pots of bulbs/corms are going to look superb in the Spring.

What's happened to Brian (BjS)? He hasn't been on GoY for quite some time now!

I last heard from Brian in August 2020 where he said his main plant interest is Alpines and he takes part in a couple of specialist on-line sites.

Love the pale pinky mauve colour, Shirley. One to look out for!

Kate, I have no details of these but pretty sure they are C. hederifolium by the leaf shape and the fact they are flowering now!
Cyclamen coum and hederifolium are two common garden species. The leaves of the Cyclamen coum are rounded while Cyclamen hederifolium leaves are more pointed. Moreover, Cyclamen coum blooms early in the year while Cyclamen hederifolium blooms from late summer to autumn.

They are very pretty, Shirley! This year I have planted 4 in pots on the balcony, I've also underplanted them with Daffodil.
