There were many patches of Cyclamen coum in Mr. Lyman’s garden. This had the most intensely colored flowers. Having finally seen this cyclamen for myself, I regret not having purchased some from Seneca Hill Perennials when it was still in business.
If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on what’s come before.

I never knew cyclamen could be cold hardy to zone 3. I grew some with success in front of a doorwall in my apartment many years ago and got it to bloom. Of course, it was on the cool side in front of that doorwall, so it rebloomed very nicely. Now I want some for my home garden!
