The Cyclamen is one of my favourite woodland flowers. At Chirk I saw a really lovely bed of them and they would have made a terrific photo however they were in an area that was cordoned off and so I couldn't get close enough to get the pictures I wanted. Seeing them gave me hope that there would be more but as I walked through the woodland I saw just one plant.
The pictures above are of that plant. The first one close up was lit naturally. I like the way the delicate petals appear quite fleshy. In the second picture I lit the flower using a pocket torch to bring out the vibrancy of the colours.
I was disappointed no to see more of these flowers but at the same time I was pleased to find such a nice specimen to share with you.
