Today after some warmer weather and rain, the snow has melted in spots. I took the opportunity to check on my cyclamen bed outdoors. Most seem to be doing good, and only a few leaves which have turned a bit brown. All seem to be hanging in there, I will keep my fingers crossed that they make it through the winter. I am glad that I built the bed up because the walk to out to the bed was a bit soggy. Here are a few shots-
These are Tim's c. hederifolium 'nice leaf' plants sown last year. They are really showing some very good leaf patterns and contrasting colors. Some of the silver appears metallic and set against the dark green it really shines.

Very nice Terry. Cyclamen leaves are so fascinating, even my tiny little babies are already showing definite leaf patterns, colours and different shapes and the leaves are only about a quarter of an inch long.

That's how they hook you Penny. That's what is so much fun about growing them from seed, you get to see the patterns right away so it keeps your interest. As you can see as they mature they get even better.
