Not any Cyclamen that I know. I would say it was a Hellebore, probably argutifolius is more likely.

It's a Hellebore what other hellebores do you have in the garden, Amsterdam?
17 Apr, 2016
Definitely not a cyclamen! Agree hellebore!

If you look on my photo's on page 8 I have 5 different varieties. I currently have seedlings growing around a few established ones but they don't look anything like this seedling, their leaves are a lot longer. If I get a chance I will add a photo of these seedlings for you to compare with tomorrow.

I was looking at self seeded helebores in our garden yesterday and the initial leaves do look almost round they develop their true leaves later.

Ok. Will keep it for now and watch how it develops.
