I've looked in everything I have - and I'm still there's two different leaf types there - some are like persicum, but not the species, and there's a similarity to cilicium but it's not frost hardy and it's flowering at the wrong time of year, but then this has been a very odd winter and all sorts of things have flowered sooner or later than they usually do, but my best guess is that the garden has loads of cyclamen coum and hederifolium and there's been some cross-pollination between them and some c. persicum from somewhere ............
What do you think Nut?

Wow. Thank you so much for all your advice. I have been looking at different websites and books for ages, this is by far the best and so much useful information. Will be posting more photos throughout the year as plants flower.

Theres a leaf that kinda looks like a Persicum Cyclamen. Could be wrong though :P
Are C. persicum hardy Matt? I could do with an extension to the hardy cyclamen season

I'm not too sure if it is a Persicum. I had some in containers from the garden centre all over Autumn and Winter and they were wonderful
Problem is they werent labelled but the ones in the photo look exactly the same as the ones I had
Persicum arent fully hardy, they are usually sold as houseplants I believe.
Could be Cyclamen repandum. Would be the right time of year according to one of my books
I think a lot of not fully hardy plants survived last winter if they didn't drown Matt

The leaves look the wrong shape for C. repandum to me - they're usually sort of jagged.
Cyclamen are notoriously promiscuous ..........
