I have absolutely no idea what this flower is - but it's January and it's blooming. Have I missed my window of opportunity to have my fruit trees pruned?

So no one but me had any difficulty identifying these pretties. They are cyclamen. They come in indoor varieties that can live outside until the temperature drops toward freezing. Then there is a hardy variety that is perfectly happy outside and requires no special care.
Readers were divided on which variety this one is.
The hardy variety is sold at nurseries - Sky would certainly have it - and it makes good ground cover as well as having a blooming season.
Thanks to everyone who sent the identification and information.
