A good, readily availble winter blooming housplant from the primrose family which comes in many colors in the pinks, purples and whites. I've had magenta, white and light pink this past winter. All comments and critiques appreciated.

I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.

I'm happy to know that you are so easily pleased, Kathy. Everyone gets two clicks no matter what they say, I guess. Personally, I like the shot although I'm much more fond when your feature a single flower in a shot rather than a series of blooms like in this gorgeous Cyclamen. That's not exactly true either. I guess what bugs me about this shot is that some of the blooms get cut off or end up in the vignetting. Of course each plant is different; so you can't always feature a bloom or two unless you carry a pruner along like I do. The business owners at a number of local establishments have banned me even though I explain that my pruning is in the name of "Art". Art apparently lives on the other end of town and doesn't seem to impress the business owners any more than I do.

Good details and lovely colours in these beautiful blooms, Kathy. I wish you hadn't of cut the tops off them though.
