Great photos, all. Thanks for sharing.

Lynn, what interesting seed pods! I think they'd look great in dried arrangements or wreaths. I love cyclamen, almost as much for its leaves as for its flowers. I've tried growing cyclamen coum, which is supposed to be hardy into zone 4, in our zone 5a/b gardens but, alas, I've have had no success with it.

Tee, its great to see someone else growing 'Henry Eilers.'
Do you save the seeds from your Hyacinth Bean? I try to, but sometimes frost kills the vines before the seeds are ripe. The vine seems to be extremely frost-sensitive.
Your mention of the white-flowered variety reminds me that I need to order some for next spring. I'd like to grow the purple and white side by side so the flowers can intertwine.
