Ten Days of Plantness 2025: Day 4

On the fourth day of Frank‘s ingenious way of keeping the winter doldrums at bay (see his post at Sorta Like Suburbia here), I am sharing another Cyclamen. This time a pure white one.

These are, strangely enough, one of the few plants I manage to keep for longer than a year. (I currently have a pale pink one – another supermarket bargain – on the windowsill.)

Of all the shades a available, I do love the white ones, especially in winter after all the Christmas decorations have been taken down. It adds a crisp, clean, fresh look to my sideboard.

 

And when it finishes flowering the leaves are beautiful too.

Do you grow Cyclamens? What colour do you prefer, pink or white?
