GYMNOPEDIE… WHITE Cyclamen
youtu.be/S-Xm7s9eGxU
The word was in a musical dictionary Eric Satie had at home, and the given definition was “An event at a greek festival wherein maidens danced in the nude.”
Most of my images are made under the influence… of music!
SILK WHITE CYCLAMENS
This is only a small plant, but on the windowsill in my kitchen, it seems to thrive in the Northern light, these beauties here seem to fight for the light.
Cyclamen are native to the Mediterranean region from Spain east to Iran, and also in northeast Africa South to Somalia.
The name Cyclamen is presumed to come from Greek 'kyclos', a circle referring to the round tubers, or leaves.
Lovely inverted flowers rise out of fantastically patterned rounded or heart-shaped leaves.
Some of the patterns, particularly the silver leaved varieties are exquisite and can truly be described as a wonder of nature.
From the family Primulaceae, they come in beautiful colours from white, pink, purple, red and combinations of these.
Cyclamen like the cool; the smaller the leaves, the cooler they can stand it.
The tubers are regarded as the favourite food for pigs in the South of France, Sicily and Italy, hence a rather uncommon common name Sowbread.
Cyclamen are poisonous; they have been used medicinally as a powerful purgative, but their toxicity makes this risky.
Have a glorious day and thank you, M, (*_*)
