Round-leaved cyclamen

This was so nearly a gap, but the obsessive part of me couldn't bear it!! So this is a quick studio shot of a flower plucked from the Cyclamen coum patch in our front garden.

The 4am start wasn't quite as bad as last time, though I did have to have a mid-morning rest with my book! No time to write much as I'm about to eat dinner before going out to pick Alex up. With any luck we'll be back by 10 - he's going to be totally shattered! Thank goodness we don't have to do it again!

PS View in large to see the water droplets acting as magnifying lenses and showing the individual cells!
