Which Cyclamen?
« on: November 18, 2007, 08:59:38 AM »
Hi, everybody,
Tell me please, is this Cyclamen purpurascens, or which? Sorry, the pictures are quite unsharp. There was taken in Croatia, the Plitvice National Park, in September 2005.

Servus Kathrine. Yes, that is Cyclamen purpurascens, and a very nice free-flowering plant. It must have been wonderful to smell too (the flowers are very perfumed).
