I must look out for some of these red hardy ones ❤

@jeatacake they’re colourful little fellas 😛 keep hoping I’ll get seed but the flower stalks just seem to rot away 😐

@gjones thanks Katy ☺️ the leaves are the best part 💚

I've not known this type set seed, as the hardy hederifolium types do.

@jeatacake 🙈 that’ll be why I’ve not managed to get any then 😳😆

I'm not really sure why it is. It may be that they're a sterile hybrid? 🤔

@jeatacake that makes sense since you never find seedlings around them

Beautiful ❤❤

@akshat thank you Akshat 😊

Great to see such a good colour in a hardy one ❤👍

@jeatacake they’re darker too, just a rare sunny moment 🤣 surprised at how much better they look in their second year. Everything seems so much better after a few seasons of settling in 😛

They do. Some more than others. I noticed it a lot after I moved house to where I am now. Most plants I brought with me took a year or 2 to settle in properly.

@jeatacake it’s quite dramatic how much they change too. Certainly noticing it with the sticks this year 🤣 and the things that struggled last year seem to be a whole lot stronger. One day I can hope to have a garden that looks as good as yours 😄

Thanks Kerry ☺️ But.....you only see what's on here. Not the really tatty & untidy bits 😂

@jeatacake same 😂 but that’s the beauty of us being the photographer 😉

Very true 😉😁

Look at those leaves! Flower is great too!💘😍

Lovely 💖💕

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😊 they’re beautiful aren’t they 💚

@matewe thanks Cori ☺️

Welcome! Yes they are beautiful!💘😍

Different colour buds on one plant 🤷🏻‍♀️ #cyclamen #cyclamen-picasso

What growing zone are you?

What a bonus 😆👍🏼

Wow! What a bonus with those leaves!💘😍

Lovely leaves on this one!

@janetandjim I think it’s the equivalent of 8/9 in USA. And where I am usually misses the harshest weather, thankfully 🙏🏻

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 2 for the price of 1 😆

@ShelleySnyder the leaves are fantastic aren’t they 😍

@valjones-hughes thanks Val 😁 the flowers are just a bonus 🤩

Yes! They are!💘😍

I love the way they wake up too....

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom slowly uncurling and lifting their heads like little old men 😛

I like the colour. The few I have are white or pale purple 👍

Lovely 💚❤️

That’s pretty!

Look at that foliage!💘😍

Three pink swans....💗

Loven the foliage very dramatic looking

@jeatacake oooh, pale purple sound lovely 😍

@matewe thanks Cori ☺️

@janetandjim thanks Janet 😊

@ShelleySnyder isn’t it lovely 😋 a plant you don’t mind not flowering 😂

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom I love how you see things! They really do look like little swans 🦢🦢🦢

@gjones it stopped a few weeks back so I moved it behind the greenhouse out of the way and it’s started again 😂 another one loving the shade

This is a real beauty Kerry! I love it!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder thank you ☺️ it’s a darker red in reality but you know what taking photos of ted flowers is like 😜

Yes ma'am I do!😡 Nonetheless your welcome my friend!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder it’s a troublesome one! 😂

😂😂🤪💘😍

@cyndi thank you Cyndi ☺️

You have so many beautiful blooms

@kaporyash thank you Yash 😊 there’s still a little colour thankfully 😁

OMGosh I'm in love with this one !!!!

@gjones they were bright pink when I bought the plant but since then they’ve come through blood red ❣️

@sherrisgarden thank you Sherri ☺️

Wowzers!! Be still my beating heart!!💘😍

Gorgeous colour 😍

@ShelleySnyder quite a contrast in those colours isn’t there 😋

Sure is! On my wish list!!💘

@suerichards thank you 😁 it’s a lot deeper too but my phone won’t show it properly 😜

Mine too @ShelleySnyder, #wishlist before I even wrote this comment!

These seem to have changed from pink to deep red 😕

@gjones thanks 😁 can’t work out why it’s changed colour so dramatically 😂

Wow!💕💕💕

@gjones I agree, the deep red is a much better contrast with the foliage 😋

@kimguy thank you Kim 😁

You are so welcome, Kerry😎💜
