Cyclamen

Very intense Julia! These are the jewels of November aren't they Kate? Gorgeous!

Thanks girls! I picked a few up from B & Q a few weeks ago. I’m pleased you mentioned the name of this one, Karen. Unfortunately, a lot of the shops like this or the supermarkets don’t often give a lot of info on the label! I will google this now, much appreciated.
I bought them to brighten up my rockery area; hopefully they will be ok through the colder months!

Sorry for any confusion...not a name, just my comment on their jewel like appearance. I think they are just Cyclamen hederifolium. Hopefully they are as the hederifolium are very hardy.

Thanks Karen, my OH just laughed at my blonde moment!
Good name though he said!!! :)))

It so would be!

Fabulous little flowers...bought some for the front garden. .so many beautiful colours...and flower for ages...then seed around too...!!

Thanks Dd, good to hear it’s a great buy for the garden, and it’s a keeper!

This week I bought three little pots of C. Coum. They are packed with buds and at £3.99 each....a good deal for years and years of winter sparkle!

Sounds a really good buy, Karen! I’ll look this one up.

Good buy Kate, Cyclamen really brighten up the garden at this time of year. I have some that come up every year now.

Thanks Linda, it’s a first for me really. I have to agree, it really is brightening up the garden at this time of year!
