This is one of two C.hederifolium with a few remaining flowers in the protection of the greenhouse. The nicest attribute of this flower is that it is very strongly scented. The other C.hederifolium var hederifolium still in flower is a form from Crete near Topolia, plants were still in flower in February when I first found the site

They are wonderful, I wish I could smell them. You did a great job photographing them too.

I've learned something else about cyclamen. I never realised that some C. hederifolium are scented, probably because I've never had any that are. I think someone said in another thread that confusum can also be scented.
Your other plant seems to be staying true to form, flowering so late, even when in cultivation. All my hederifolium are finished flowering now.
What are the leaves like on these two plants Melvyn.

Thats a great colour reminds me a bit of C.hederifolium 'Ellen Corcker' and its strain.

Very nice! C. purpurascens is also scented.
