All throughout the garden little flashes of pink and white are starting to pop up!

This is Cyclamen hederifolium, Ivy Leaved Cyclamen (although you’d be hard pressed to tell why at this time of year, the cool variegated foliage appears later in the winter!)

This magical late summer-autumn bloomer is native to the mediterranean, although perfectly at home here in our northwest woodland gardens!
They grow from a tuberous corm, and are spread by seed with the help of ants!
