I also have cyclamens doing their opposite things this time of year.
The fall bloomers are just getting going - C hederifolium & cilicium
And the winter bloomers are just putting up leaves (C coum).
My C cilicium is barely planted - the entire bulb is showing above ground (#1 & 2).
I presume I should replant deeper, but it\'s thriving - hate to mess up a good thing.
C hederifolium alba is a scary jumble of blooming shoots - just getting started (#3).
It will be a remarkable display of pure white flowers in the next week or two.
C coum on the other hand is just putting up foliage. Here are two small potted plants of C coum (#4 & 5), the one on the Rt is the cultivar Christmas Tree.
I like cyclamen in the shade under thirsty trees where other things don\'t thrive.
They want to be dry in summer - the tree roots make sure of that.
They have done really well for me - I love the fact that they put up foliage and bloom at such strange times, when a little life in the garden is appreciated.
