Cheery little plant!

This is a purple mini cyclamen which we bought for £2.49 last summer and found we didn't have a place for it in the garden so we just popped it on the table outside our back door and left it there!  We have never watered it or looked after it in anyway ("ahh, poor thing" I hear you say) but the amazing thing is that it just keeps going on and on and on - beautiful little purple flowers all year long - right through the winter (although there is more winter to come) . I am sure it will still be going strong this time next year.  Perhaps it has discovered the secret of immortal life :)
