Cyclamen is a perennial Autumn flower that includes about 15 species
found in the Mediterranean regions at altitudes of up to 1200 m.
 
In Greece, specifically, there are 6 native species
with ‘graecum’ probably being the most prevalent
in Southern Greece and the Aegean islands.
It grows particularly in rocky slopes and generally sun-exposed places
from September to November.
The flowers vary in color from white to pink.
 
Undoubtedly, it is a well-known and well-sung flower
that remains one of the most beautiful ornaments of nature in Autumn.
