    Yep garden cyclamen tend to do this.
    I'm guessing that it probably is a form of C hederafolium, which tends to flower late summer after which the leaves grow and remain all winter.

    Not really. C. hederifolium does continue flowering in my garden for a few more weeks. From January onwards C.coum comes into flower and should last until late February, if you have enough of them.

      Still got the old flower on my C hederafolium, but they are most leaf now.
      The different leaf patterns are worth looking at at this dull old time of the year.

      Well one of my hederifolium is still going strong - it is a form with rather large flowers.

      And a cilicium seems to have started - which is a bit odd...
