Re: Flowers
Saw them Mick, in flower yet but the frost has taken it's toll - Sowbread - Cyclamen hederifolium, I would normally say it's a garden throw out but not there.
Re: Flowers
Seems unusual to me to be in flower in November Carol.

Re: Flowers
Perhaps a little late but not unusual - we also find two spring flowering ones Eastern (round leaf) & Spring Sowbread -

Re: Flowers
With working at a garden centre I'd be strongly inclined to bet that's a garden throwout, the leaf shape and pattern, and petals, don't match up with hardy cyclamen like hederifolium, looks just like the persicum cultivar you get at garden centres this time of year, they flower in winter but generally don't last against harder frosts.
Never had the pleasure of finding wild cyclamen varieties in a woodland yet...
