Cyclamen persicum, commonly known as Persian cyclamen or cyclamen florists, is a stunning flowering plant that can be found in various regions such as Cyprus and Israel. In April 2009, two beautiful Cyclamens were captured in full bloom on the Akamas peninsula in Cyprus. The delicate petals of these flowers create a mesmerizing sight against the backdrop of nature's beauty. Dating back to the late 18th century, this species has been admired for its elegance and charm. A handcolored copperplate engraving by James Sowerby from William Curtis' Botanical Magazine showcases the intricate details of Cyclamen persicum, highlighting its unique characteristics. These flowers are truly a work of art. During springtime in Cyprus, these Persian cyclamens paint the landscape with their vibrant colors. Their blossoms stand out among other flora, bringing joy to anyone who encounters them. In May 2009, an insect was spotted gracefully perched on one of these enchanting flowers on the Akamas peninsula. Not limited to Cyprus alone, it also thrives in Jerusalem, Israel. Here they bloom alongside other white flowers creating a breathtaking purple haze during March. This captivating display includes Epacris delicata E. , purpurescens E. , Scilla praecox and Burchellia Capensis. The allure continues to captivate artists throughout history as well. Abraham Pethar's painting inspired William Elmes' engraving for Robert John Thornton's "The Temple of Flora" published in 1804 - showcasing the Persian cyclamen at its finest. Whether you encounter them on your travels or admire them through botanical illustrations and engravings from centuries past; there is no denying that Cyclamen persicum is an exquisite flower deserving admiration and appreciation for its timeless beauty.
