SPRING CYCLAMEN

Next to the snowdrops in my garden is a cluster of spring cyclamen (Cyclamen coum).  
They are native to two areas: 
(a) near the Black Sea through Bulgaria, northern Turkey and Crimea
 (b) from southern Turkey to Lebanon and Israel.

Obviously they like living dangerously.  
I hope they bring some pleasure to people in those stricken areas.


Although they are not native to Britain they naturalise here and add a welcome magenta splash to the springtime ground flora.  So I hope you won't mind me adding them into this blog.
