Nature Diary, Beautiful Cyclamen in the sunshine

Today is a beautiful day on the south coast of England, with sunshine and blue skies and the mearest hint of a winter breeze.
These little Cyclamen have excelled themselves on the balcony this year, as have many of the other small plants surrounding them in various plant pots and in tall planters. Long may the mild weather continue, even though December is so very near and likely to bring with it weather too cold for the plants to withstand. Right now though, at least in this southern part of the UK, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and many beautiful little plants are thriving.
