Deep pink

A huge room in the new Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo is full of spring flowers at the moment, waiting for actual spring to arrive, when it will be transformed into a butterfly house. Lots of these beautiful Cyclamen added their gorgeous colour, taking ones mind off the cold and snow outside : )

"Cyclamen is a genus of 23 species of flowering plants, traditionally classified in the family Primulaceae, but in recent years reclassified in the family Myrsinaceae (Kallersjo et al. 2000). The genus is most widely known by its scientific name Cyclamen being taken into common usage; other names occasionally used include sowbread and sometimes, confusingly, Persian violet (it is not related to the violets), or primrose (neither is it a primrose)."
