Are your cyclamen growing inside your home or a greenhouse?

@sallysmom

more or less like in Florida

About 95-100F in summer, no rain at all (from April to November), but humility is high (about 70% in the day, and close to 100% at night). In winter we have a rain, with temperature about 50-60 F (sometimes up to 40 F), no snow, but sometimes we have a graupel, that looks like a snow on the roads for few minutes until it melts. Most of the flowers blooming in winter.

Sounds like southern California weather, but a bit more humidity than us. My freesias are in bud.

Lovely Freesias. Personally I think rain drops on blooms add a nice touch at times, so no need to apologise!

I read somewhere that rain in a plant picture ups the viewer's appreciation for said picture like 30%.
Isn't that a hyacinth in the last picture?
Nothing that's been done can ever be changed.
