November 2003. This greenery is very welcome since it will persist all winter. Blooming is just about finished.

I thought the album of this species would be interesting. I don't have a picture of the leaves of the hederfolium, it bloomed and then the leaves came. I checked the book Cyclamen by Christopher Grey-Wilson because the leaves on my plant are different than yours, he says they vary within the group. I bought my plants at Arrowhead Alpines in Fowlerville, MI. They have a website although they may be closed for the year but try anyway. www.arrowheadalpines.com
