Garden Tuesday ~ Hardy Cyclamen

Hardy Cyclamen

I’ve posted about Hardy Cyclamen here and here.  I love it.  It’s such an unusual plant.  It has these beautiful leaves all winter.  Then in the summer they disappear.  Poof.  In the fall, delicate pink flowers appear out of nowhere.  Really, check out the above links, you’ll see the picture of pink flowers popping out of what appears to be barren ground.  Then the flowers go away, and the leaves appear.   Isn’t that fun?!

Please join me for Garden Tuesday.   AND yes, I know it’s Monday, but I’m doing a book review tomorrow.  AND, if you are pregnant, thinking about getting pregnant, have a baby or children, and love all things French, tune in tomorrow.  I am, of course, none of those, other than the French thing, but I loved tomorrow’s book!

That is one crazy (and possibly confused) plant!

Your cyclamen is always pretty.

Are you reviewing the book about how French parents are better? I saw an article about that one in the Wall Street Journal a week or 2 ago!
