Admire the Cyclamen's heart-shaped foilage.
In the center, many buds
will soon be opening.
Then, delicate fushia flowers will adorn their long, slender stems.
In Victorian days, Cyclamen were the Christmas plants given to neighbors and friends.
Now the tradition is to give Poinsettias.
Supposedly, you can make a tea from the Cyclamen petals.
However, it is officially POISONOUS.
Beware of her dangerous beauty.

Thanks for stopping by, Jane!
I love the photos on your blog. You're great. ; )
I love cyclamens too, but how do you keep your cats from eating them? Mine will eat anything green in my house, so I gave up.
I tried to have my cyclamen on the dining table as a centerpiece. But Bunny and Chibi ate some leaves...and it freaked me out because they are poisonous!
I now keep the cyclamen in the kitchen window. The cats never seem to jump up on the kitchen counters or get in the kitchen windowsills. We're lucky. Have you tried Jade plants? Mine won't eat those for some reason...
