I was amazed how much cyclamen they used at the Chicago show in window boxes and outside beds. Maybe it is the new impatiens. I do love them but struggle keeping them alive inside.
I love cyclamen and really need to plant some in my garden. We are working on a stone pathway and once it is in I think there will be a nice 'safe' place next to the stones for some cyclamen. Right now the dogs go careening through the garden.
Cyclamen usually shows up potted for Valentine's Day here. I've never been able to keep them going but I love to have one, particularly if I can find one of the rare fragrant ones.
Lona, what a beautiful display of cyclamen, all those delicious colors almost make me drool with envy. I wish there was a way to grow them around here more reliably. That snail was really pretty, too...come to think of it, that's the only snail I'd ever want in my garden.
I always forget that cyclamen grow outside here. They still mostly sell them as houseplants, but every year I see them growing in a garden somewhere and just love them. Beautiful flowers and foliage.

I love cyclamen and wish they would grow outside here!!!
So pretty! I love the way the cyclamen petals shoot upwards to the sky. A nice boost of color in the winter season too!
I so wish I had some of those in my flower pots. They are beautiful.
I have enjoyed your posts on the garden show very much.
I love cyclamen. Those are delicious pictures of them... and I like the sparkly pictures at the bottom of your post :)
The cyclamens are beautiful! They can look like fake plants as the flowers and leaves remains wonderful (no change at all) for a while ;-)
Oh, WOW. Gorgeous!
Hi Lona,

They are just beautiful. I am not familiar with Cyclamen. I'm not sure if it grows in this area but I'm gonna check it out.
God bless and may the luck of the Irish rain on you today!!! :o)
They always remind me of butterflies. I love the bright colors.Can they be used outside in the summer in Zone 5?
