I decided not to buy any cyclamen this year. I lost all the ones I had in last year's hard winter, and decided I couldn't be bothered fussing with them again. It tends to be too hot in the house to keep them in flower, and there's not enough light, whereas outside I risk losing them as soon as temperatures drop. They also prefer slightly acidic conditions - a bother to maintain with the hard water we have here.
So I thought I'd give them a miss this winter. But then I saw these - and they were sooo pretty, I just had to bring them home.
A week later, I saw these...
At which point I thought I might as well get some red ones too...
Oh well, here's hoping for a warm winter.
