CYCLAMEN DESIGNS





LAST OF THE CYCLAMEN


The rain over the past week has brought to an end the flowering of the little rock cyclamen (cyclamen hederifolium).
These dainty blooms are always a welcome arrival in my garden, the first to flower are the white ones followed by the soft pink and they flower for such a long time.
I have used these many times in small embroidery designs. I will add some of these designs, which I am happy for embroiderers to copy and stitch.
To copy a design - just copy and paste to word.
