It has been a while since I posted any information on a plant species in our garden on my website. My bad. Put it down to being completely absorbed in writing and publishing my first book last summer and fall…and marketing it almost entirely on my own. (Very pleased to say book sales have been good, largely due to the enthusiasm of my reading fans.)

Now that I am catching up on much of what was thrust to the sidelines through the book publication process…sort of…I am making an effort to get back into a regular writing routine for my website.

To that end…here is Cyclamen coum, also known as Persian violet and eastern sowbread.

While I can understand the common name of Persian violet, I have absolutely no idea how this darling little plant ever got the common name of eastern sowbread.
