•  Comment I do not understand why the colors seems so artifacts to me, but that is. Have you enhanced them? Or , maybe, was the sun near to the horizon? --Harlock81 (talk) 19:24, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

• Answer: I have improved them. see the new download under the photo. Cyclamen have delicate colors, which sometimes go a bit darker to the outside.--Famberhorst (talk) 06:17, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

  Excuse me, but you have improved them with respect to what? The colors are definitely unnaturals for wild sowbreads. Compare them to File:Cyclamen (8457919409).jpg or File:Eastern Sowbread - Cyclamen coum (32909809374).jpg, for instance. --Harlock81 (talk) 15:52, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

• Answer: the colors of Cyclamen coum vary from white to dark pink and everything in between. View this photo for a white variation. [photo for a white variation.] --Famberhorst (talk) 17:54, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

• I'll follow this discussion with interest. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:44, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

  Yes, colors of the petals of Cyclamen coum may be many, yet most of them shows the same shade of magenta. I've found few pictures which reproduce the same colors of your photos: this picture (from here) and this one (from here). --Harlock81 (talk) 19:09, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

• Answer: From the many colors of cyclamen I specially selected this color to photograph. Because I think it is a very beautiful and striking color. Opinions differ about tastes.--Famberhorst (talk) 06:35, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

  I'm sorry if you have misunderstood me: it's not just a question of taste. I was just surprised (and a bit dubious, I admit) that a wild plant, in a natural reserve (De Famberhorst), could show flowers of the same colors of common cultivars, while most of the plants of the same specie shows a different shade of magenta.

  I had thinked that either the red balance could have been altered accidentaly, or the plant was a cultivar and not a wild one, or the specie could not have been correctly identified. That's all. I thank you for your explanations. --Harlock81 (talk) 12:28, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

• Extra information: Cyclamen coum are not indigenous in the Netherlands. They fall under the Stinsenplanten. They are fairly hardy, wild plants. The cyclamen sow in different colors. Color is also selected.--Famberhorst (talk) 17:04, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
