FFF70 - CYCLAMEN

Cyclamen persicum, the Persian cyclamen, is a species of flowering herbaceous perennial plant growing from a tuber, native to rocky hillsides, shrubland, and woodland up to 1,200 m above sea level, from south-central Turkey to Israel and Jordan. It also grows in Algeria and Tunisia and on the Greek islands of Rhodes, Karpathos, and Crete, where it may have been introduced by monks. Cultivars of this species are the commonly seen florist's cyclamen.

    The leaves on these are almost as beautiful as the flowers.

    Wonderful pink tones among the green. Can't wait to buy some with our son and plant them in the garden.

    The shape of the flowers always remind me on wings of birds. Love the colors of them in your pic!
