So, like many (I'm guessing...), I have a problem with throwing out "old" bedding plants.

Before I begin, I'm in Houston. H-O-T!! Last fall, I planted some cyclamen in a small bed by our front door. Gradually, as late winter/early spring hit and we warmed up, most of them died and/or went dormant. I dug those and saved the tubers. I have two left, however, that just keep plugging along. One is only flowering just a little anymore, but is still pretty leafy. This one, however, apparently doesn't realize that it's a cool weather plant - it's still flowering like a fool! Anyone else ever have them hang on so long like this? I've redone the bed a couple of times since originally planting them, I just keep working around them since their staying so happy.
