Pink And Fucsia Cyclamen Flower Cyclamen Persicum; Sowbread Or Swinebread Stock Photo

Beautiful Cyclamen in pink and fucsia shades in a ceramic pot hanging by the 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.
