I nurtured a skimmia japonica pair thru a couple undistinguished seasons 5 yrs ago or so.
Then after their predictable demise, gave up on them.
But Stormy's success will surely spur me to try again.

My cyclamen is hederifolium var alba, I think.
If anyone knows otherwise, I'd be interested to know.
Flowers are white - see post.
Since I planted mine 4-5 years ago, I've heard how fussy cyclamen are.
You're not supposed to water them during their dormant (summer) season, etc...
We'll I water my entire yard during the summer, including my cyclamen; I've never handled them in any special way.
Yet they have spread into a healthy thriving clump.
