Gently tuck the Cyclamen flower or leaf from the plant. Just by pulling the stalk upwards the entire stem will snap off and pull out easily
and cleanly without damaging any of the other healthy leaves or flowers and without disturbing or hurting the tuber. You now have a nice long stem to design with.
This is also the best way to maintain the plant and to remove any damaged or dead leaves or spend flowers

Not quite winter but also a bit late for autumn design that is somewhere between sparkle and flying leaves.
