Cyclamen
The genus Cyclamen, sometimes known as Persian Violet, Sowbread or Alpine Violet is very distinctive in leaf and flower. The 19 species in this primrose family genus are tuberous perennials found in Europe, around the Mediterranean shores and in western Asia. They occur in a range of sizes but are otherwise similar. From their flattened tubers emerge heart-shaped gray-green to blue-green leaves, often attractively patterned silver-gray. Downward facing flowers in white or pink through purple to red shades are borne one per stem and have large reflexed petals.
