I was surprised to find a huge tuber buried in the pot of the florist’s cyclamen I bought last winter from Hortus Forum, our undergrad horticulture club at Cornell University. These plants — like forced bulbs — are usually considered disposable after they flower. But I’m glad I saved this one to give some angels to dance on the kitchen window sill.

Is that the fragrant cyclamen? I always hunt for one. I’ve never been able to bring one back from the die-back and rest period but I might try again when I buy one for Valentine’s Day. Happy Bloom Day, it’s made me happy to see this post.
I love the magic you make with your images! Thanks, by the way, for the plant scanning idea from a previous post; I had lots of fun scanning autumn leaves this season.
Like others, I have attempted to bring cyclamen back for another year with no luck. But I plan to try again. I like calling them Christmas angels.
