The ASPCA says Cyclamen is toxic to pets: https://aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/… On the other hand, I find that Brian is justified in his comment in this herbal page: https://herbal-supplement-resource.com/cyclamen-he… As little as 0.2 g of the root-stock (tubers) will cause symptoms of poisoning, while 8 g are considered lethal dose for a healthy adult. Animals that eat the tubers do usually have blood in their urine, but pigs can eat them without any harm, which is reflected in one of the English names of the plant, “sowbread” Regarding habitat of Cyclamen persicum I find this comment from the Cyclamen Society perfectly mirrors what I see here in Israel: Cyclamen persicum grows in a typically Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and warm wet winters, from sea level to 1200m, mainly in open situations, in terra rossa over limestone, often in water worn pockets or crevices in bare rock but also under scrub or in old olive groves. https://cyclamen.org/plants/species/… Shmuel Silinsky Jerusalem, Israel _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
