Foliage of Cyclamen hederifolium
Ivy-leaved cyclamen (hederifolium means “leaves of Hedera“, the genus of the ivies) is native to Mediterranean Europe.
The Cyclamen Society has an informative page about Cyclamen hederifolium; it includes a photograph of the plant in flower, since I missed my opportunity this past autumn to capture the flowers. Perhaps next year.

I really love your page, I learn something new almost every day and really just marvel at the beauty there most all the time. Thanks for the work you do with this.
