My iPhone captured these beautiful cyclamen in Tourrettes-sur-Loup, the last stop we made on this past Sunday’s rain tour before heading home. Cyclamen are European members of the primrose family, and their color really comes alive in the rain. Strangely, I cannot see these flowers without thinking of a two-liner by German humorist, comedian, actor, and poet Heinz Erhardt that I read years ago. I know that some German-speaking people occasionally look at this blog, so I’ll add the two lines as Erhardt wrote them, and without a translation (don’t even ask!):

    Es stinkt nicht auf dem Damenklo,

    Es sind ja auch Zyklamen do!
