This cyclamen hederifolium caught my eye! Not just the flowers alone, but the leaf patterns are a real eye catcher.

Nice shot of a beautiful plant, David. I have had no luck at all with cyclamen here. My friend had one for several years, and then it perished. Mine lasted one year. I'm just not going to kill anymore of them!

"Cyclamen hederifolium has been known to survive prolonged freezing at temperatures as low as -22 F." Cyclamen by Christopher-Grey Wilson.
The way to kill them is with kindness and too much water! They must be planted where they will remain quite dry over the summer months when they are dormant. Up close to trees or shrubs where there is root competition is a good place and keep them out of the reach of the sprinkler.
David's leaf form is very stunning! Even prettier than the very popular "Christmas Tree" form.
