Three for the price of one.

Cyclamen aplenty in gardens right now, mostly Cyclamen hederifolium, aka the Ivy Leaf Cyclamen which is tolerant of dry and shady places, so very adaptable in the garden.  

Here are also Cyclamen mirabile, pale pink with a carmine marking around the 'nose' of the flower and Cyclamen intaminatum, one of the smallest flowered species but still a beauty.  These two need careful siting in the garden, not enjoying the combination of cold and wet that typifies a British Winter.  A flower of Cyclamen hederifolium, at the bottom for comparison.

Work this morning, finished potting the last of the bulbs this afternoon.  Now to prepare a Shepherds Pie for tomorrow's tea.  I am at work until 4pm, Jacinta and Ruth (one night for a hospital appointment) are due home tomorrow and have been missing home cooking lately.
