First cyclamen spotted

I can't be of much help with the critters - for me it's maynly slugs
this year, they've been a pest all Summer, especially in cutting down
Bomareas but even climbing up Passifloras to feed on the flowers, so I'm
now experimenting with copper tape on the pots - too fresh to judge
effectiveness. I havn't seen any cyclamens flowering now, but I have a
bulb of Colchicum bivonae in full flower for almost 2 weeks, that's
somewhat disturbing.

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?
