Over the years In have been given potted cyclamens in bloom. When the plants died down I had left the corms to look after themselves and that's what the cyclamens had done. Not only have they reappeared to flower, they have been self sowing seeds in areas I did not expect to find them.
Here are a few of them sprouting up through the mulch. Some have appeared in pots alongside the mother corm. I have planted the seedlings in pots and in the ground underneath the jacaranda tree, but with enough light to encourage flowering. They are a beautiful sight in different shades of pink.
They brighten up the garden in winter, where they are the happiest, rather than smothered in the heat of the house.
