That, Marge, is a good recommendation.  I know she has plants in outdoor 
locations and it makes me think every once in a while that we should try.  We 
are in a high altitude with a short growing season and every corm planted is 
never seen again.  Rodents are probably not helping.  If one can get a 
questionable bulb going, it may disappear to voles just when you think you 
have succeeded.

But- we do have potted plants and they are amongst my favorite winter plants. 
 I surely do agree, cyclamen are worth a bunch of trouble.  If you are lucky 
some of them will be very fragrant.
