Cyclamen sp. for id please

I'd hazard a guess at C.hederifolium, as it should be flowering about now.

[Tiggrx]

It is Cyclamen hederifolium - the most commonly naturalised species.

thanks to you both

There are a few hardy cyclamen; C. coum + C. repandum amongst them. I tend to use the scientific names for Cyclamen, but Stace + Fitter both call C. hederifolium just Sowbread.

thanks, that's great

c. repandum is the spring one.

C. hederifolium is the one you have there. I found a patch recently as well.

Quite a good plant to have on the list!
