Only time will tell?

The 1st Cyclamen Coum rears it's head.  Damthing was so low I couldn't grovel low enough to get a good looking-up shot unless I was prepared to lie in the wet grass in the rain. - Nein danke!

OK - so what will time tell me/us?
1. Were the C. Persicum later than C. hederifolium naturally, or by artificial aid?
2. Did I get them lagged fast enough?
3.  Was that long frost enough to doofer them?

On the left  -  The solitary C. Coum.
On the right - The lagging over one of the C. Persicum.
Inset - two attempts to shoot "up-and-under".
The grass is lagging, not growth. AND I didn't clone out that miscreant Cotoneaster (centre top); it may yet become a Bonsai.
