Cyclamens

/ˈsɪkləmənz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of cyclamen; multiple cyclamen plants or species of this flowering plant.

Etymology

Standard English plural formed by adding '-s' to cyclamen. The word cyclamen itself comes from Greek, but the plural follows modern English conventions rather than Greek patterns.

Kelly Says

Different cyclamen species bloom at different times—some in fall, some in winter, some in spring—so gardeners who are obsessed with them (and some definitely are!) can have them flowering nearly year-round.
