The summer of 1973 my sister and her family emigrated to Israel. Our parents visited them late that year. When they returned home they brought me a Cyclamen persicum tuber found exposed between a couple of boulders on a roadside.

I've been its caregiver for 47 years. Some years it is top-dressed, some years repotted, other years neither. It was repotted cyclamen yesterday. Perhaps it should go in the Guinness book of records?

Judy in New Jersey where the greenhouse is getting somewhat crowded . . .

P.S. Let me say that 1973 was pre-CITES days and I had an import permit
