Cyclamen purpurascens

Late evening emergency blip.  

Laundry, Dad's taxi - Jamie at a friend's baking cookies, allotment - a lot less weeds.  Tired now.

Summer flowering hardy species, Cyclamen purpurascens grows in deciduous or mixed deciduous/evergreen woodland, under thick leaf litter, in humus rich pockets of soil on limestone but also grows in the open in scree, sparse grassland and above the tree line, from sea level, in the Balkans, to 1500m, in the Alps.  Not easy in the garden, it needs humus rich soil and shade.
