cyclamencyclamen
genusgenusCharming flowering plants characterized by their uniquely reflexed petals and distinctive marbled foliage that emerges from underground tubers. These plants create a stunning display with their butterfly-like blooms held above a carpet of patterned leaves.
Etymology
The name 'Cyclamen' comes from the Greek word 'kuklos' meaning 'circle' or 'wheel', referring either to the round tuber shape or the coiling motion of the flower stems after blooming.
Interesting fact!
After flowering, the stems coil into tight spirals to bring developing seed pods down to ground level, ensuring optimal seed dispersal.
