Sunshine!

Cyclamen graecum, long established in the garden in Norwich in a deep sand bed.  It's native habitat is hhot and dry in summer but the deep probing roots always find a little moisture.   In flower, quite similar to the widely grown Cyclamen hederifolium, it's leaves are more leathery and often very strikingly marked with silver, as here.   In the Uk it can be a challenge to replicate it's native habitat, with the south and east perhaps best.   Not confident of success in Wales .... but I will try.

I've been tired since we arrived in Norwich - the fallout from a stressful couple of weeks.  We have managed to do more sorting than in August, lots of boxes lined up ready to go.   An awful lot more to work through yet though :-/
