Pink Cyclamen Flower In A Pot With Stone Background. Cyclamen Persicum; Sowbread Or Swinebread Stock Image

Beautiful Cyclamen in pink shades in a ceramic pot hanging by the stone wall. Cyclamen are tuberous perennials with rounded, sometimes angular, leaves which are often attractively mottled with Christmas tree pattern on leaf. The nodding, characteristically shaped flowers have 5 reflexed and twisted petals, often with dark markings at the base. Most cyclamen species originate from the Mediterranean, where summers are hot and dry and winters are cool and wet, and are summer-dormant: their leaves sprout in the autumn, remain through the winter, and wither the next spring. Cyclamen are commonly grown for their flowers, both outdoors and indoors in pots.
