your climate seems very benign Ina, and your garden looks lovely and full of flowers. are you sure the Cyclamen is hederafolium though? it looks very like persicum to me, look at the nose of the flowers where the petals seperate and compare with other pictures. I think there was a very old mix up between the names which resulted in the wrong plant being pictured on china , copied from wrongly labled botanical drawings. In a mild enough climate it may flower through out the year but C hederafolium usually flowers now in the northern hemisphere. Peter (UK)
