Pink Cyclamen


It jumped in my grocery cart today.
How could I not let it come home with me?  haha.

  2. I love jumping plants! Soft, pretty colour and they usually last such a long time. Not for me, mind you... but for others!

    1. My last one died or is dying...so sad. Some kind of mite got it and I did everything I could to kill the mite but mot the plant. I finally just cut it back to the root and replanted it. It sprouted spindly leaves and one little flower but it just looks sickly. I think it's time to admit it's a failure and when I saw this one today I could see by comparison just how awful the one at home was! hahahaha.....

    2. I often buy them for my Mom and they last for years with her and bloom all the time. I did not inherit her green thumb! :-)

  8. I love cyclamen. My mum gave me two small plants in wooden pot on 31st December to wish me happy new year.
    They're still on my balcony with lovely white flowers.

  10. Hubby once gave me a gift basket that had a small cyclamen plant in it. I left the flower on the kitchen table, and the next day saw that the cats had eaten EVERY bloom. No more cyclamens for me!

    1. hmm....my cats have never bothered mine...and it's by the kitchen sink where they are always sitting.
      Philodendron are poisonous to cats and I have one of those, too....none of them want to chew on it. Shadow did munch on a miniature rose once, though. haha.
