Cyclamen flowers and seed pods.
Cyclamen flowers bloom forever, and fresh buds pop up regularly. My small pot plant from the local Palmers Gardenworld is providing a beautiful display of colour during our winter.
Change happens slowly. The flower drops its petals, and the seed pod develops. What lies inside?
Thought I’d have a look rather than google it.

They do it differently. Flowers invert away from the sun while their petals reflex backwards. Pollen grains fall from anthers like pepper from a shaker.
After the initial transformation, I thought it would be interesting to follow other changes during the lifetime of the bloom.
