Cyclamen

They've found themselves a lovely little pocket!

It must a good year for them as there are so many dotted around

I was surprised to find that the smaller cyclamen will survive in our climate! I thought they were tropicals...sheer ignorance on my part...I just never took the trouble to look them up. They really are lovely, aren't they...their leaves look like they have a lace overlay and the blossoms look like butterflies...and better still they grow like wild flowers!

So descriptive, Lori! They are so pretty in clumps on the edges of woods and there seems to be a mass production of these tiny beauties this year...

Unless I am very much mistaken, these look like Cyclamen repandum. If they flower in spring, they probably are. Jb
