Nice picture, T. I love the hardy cyclamens; their leaves are as beautiful as their blooms.
I have looked for these several times - haven't found them tho. Seems the nurseries around her only carry the Florist type that aren't hardy. Would be happy to make a generous trade to someone who might have some extras.
Azalea, I am sorry to have to tell you that you just missed them on this co-op at a great price. I ordered some and they were huge and already budding - the best specimens I have ever seen.

I believe this co-op next spring will offer them:

Sorry that I don't have extras, Azalea, but maybe we can both get some at the coop next spring! I got mine (2 bulbs) from Park Seed Co. a few years back, but they have never spread much or volunteered from seed. A lot of the bulb companies offer them.
Those are nicely marked leaves. Large and well-defined area of silver and several shades of green. Very bright green too. An unusual leaf pattern. Very fine specimen.
