Plants of the Day

Wednesday 22 November 2017

In the warmer environment of central London Cyclamen persicum (florists cyclamen) cultivars and Muehlenbeckia complexa (Australian ivy, mattress vine, maidenhair vine, necklace vine, wire plant) were part of a display by Jens Jacobsen, Floral Construction. The natural habitat for Cyclamen is rocky areas among shrub vegetation. It is a tender plant which will not tolerate the frost. The Muehlenbeckia is a deciduous climber, forming dense masses of slender, wiry, interlaced stems, here creating the upholstery for a chair!

Back in flower after being EATEN .. Cyclamen (cyclamen persicum) Persian Cyclamen or the florist's cyclamen. Native to Europe. They grow from tubers and are valued for their flowers with upswept petals and variably patterned leaves. This was a supermarket purchase and has been doing very well even though it got eaten right offl. I have had them in the garden before but they only survived a couple of years. I think they get to wet when dormant. #cyclamen #PersianCyclamen #floristscyclamen #cyclamenpersicum #tuber #perennial #flower #european #abcmygarden #myplants #australiangarden #green #pink (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg6S5_hPnxu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
