First cyclamen spotted

Do you have deer mice? They unpredictably shred all sorts of new growth in
the Seattle area. You might try Bobbex small animal repellent, or even
their deer version.
We seem to share the same cyclamen bloom schedule.

Cyclamen cilicium, C. hederifolium, and now C. africanum have been
trying to flower for a couple of weeks now. Something is eating the
flowers just as fast as they appear, but not the stems or the leaves (of
C. coum that is showing up.) I finally moved several pots inside and
have a barrier on a couple of others, but the flowers are coming through
the barrier so are probably doomed. I had a few left over moth balls
from the time I had a chipmunk that was fond of Calochortus flowers and
I stuck one of them in one pot and so far there is still a flower left
in that pot. Anyone have any idea of the culprit or suggestions?
