My hardy Cyclamen (C. hederifolium) is just coming up now. First the flowers push up and then later the beautiful leaves. This is not to be confused with the Cyclamen you find in the Grocery stores or the florists. That is C.persicum and is not hardy. The hardy type is very reliable in cold weather climates and will also naturalize. Usually pink but there is a white variety. They grow well in lots of humus which is why they do well under pines and native oaks--I guess under trees in general.
