       Sowbread, Cyclamen hederifolium, is native from southern France to western Turkey, Mediterranean islands, farther north in Europe and in the Pacific Northwest.In the wild flowers appear well before the foliage (seen here). Leaves resemble Hedera ivy leaves and so the plant is commonly called the ivy-leaved cyclamen.#RhodyGarden #Cyclamen #Flowers #BloomScrolling #Florespondence #FlowersOfMastodon #Photography #NaturePhotography #PNW #PhotoMonday

       This is the same lovely cluster of wild cyclamens as in the previous photograph, but taken 23 days later. It’s curious that its ivy-shaped leaves still have not developed! I’ve never seen cyclamens in the wild before so I’m having a lot of fun watching this same cluster do its thing.#RhodyGarden #Cyclamen #Flowers #BloomScrolling #Florespondence #FlowersOfMastodon #Photography #NaturePhotography #PNW

       This is the 3rd in a series of photos of this same lovely cluster of wild cyclamens, only this time, they’re putting on ivy-like leaves. It’s been almost a month since my original photo. Truly a lovely plant in the wild.#RhodyGarden #Cyclamen #Flowers #FlowersOfMastodon #Florespondence #BloomScrolling #Photography #NaturePhotography #PNW

       This is the 4th in a series of one lovely cluster of wild cyclamens. The ivy-like leaves are now fully developed like the flower potted versions we see in nurseries. It’s been almost 2 months since I first spotted the blooms without any leaves in my favorite garden and it’s been a lot of fun watching this plant grow.#RhodyGarden #BloomScrolling #Florespondence #FlowersOfMastodon #Flowers #Plant #NaturePhotography #Nature #PNW
