Buds and offsets-2

Because it's winter again, here are some " indoor plants' " buds.

I will write about it when in flower.


Cyclamen pseudibericum (the same as last time, more colourful clothed)

Buds and offsets-1

The watering had a fantastic effect, a lot of beautiful buds appeared. And hopefully more and more will come from now on, so I start a topic with this subject. It's a real joy to photograph them.
Here are a few:
