Maroon and pink from the garden

I trust in your unfailing love;

my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Psalm 13 : 5

Cyclamen like:

• Grit please
• Dappled shade
• Tolerates frost down to -3 to -4 (24-26F)
• Keep on the dry side
• Twisting and pulling of stem when dead heading. No bits left on corm to rot and then rot the corm.

Cyclamen don’t like:

• Heavy rain
• Strong wind

Well let us see how my six do. In the language of flowers they stand for sincerity. I am sincerely looking forward to this journey with them into the cold, grey, short days of winter.

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight.
