Cyclamen - part two

The botanists say that cyclamen flowers are upside down in order to have the petals concealing the flower's stamen. this is definetly a possibillity recent research shows that some insects use the flower as shelter and protection from rain and low tempertures.

cyclamen's live for long periods. a single flower could live up to three weeks and the flowering season of cyclamens lasts from the end of november up until the begining of april. this property is usually the case for plants that are pollinated by insects but suffer from shortages of stamen.

the cyclame has a huge skein, it's diameter measures up to 15 cm. this is a storage room for food that many animals would be happy to feed on, to counter that , the cyclamen accumulates poison in the skein.
