But now cyclamen have crept out of the cold frames of the elite into the borders of the many, and no wonder – they can create a splash in shady places where not much grows and when little else is hardy enough to flower.I'm not talking about Cyclamen persicum, the tender plants sold in the thousands by florists and garden centres for temporary winter colour, but the tougher, more diminutive species, which are increasingly mass-produced by nurseries in a wide range of leaf and flower colours. And once you have hardy cyclamen in your garden, they'll spread themselves about. This starts slowly, with the occasional appearance of dark green, ivy-like leaves in borders or cracks in paving – flowers usually follow the year after.A few years later, more appear, sometimes in bizarre places – some have just turned up in one of our window boxes. Cyclamen seeds are too heavy to be scattered far from the parent plant; they are coated in a sweet substance that ants find irresistible and go to great effort to carry them many metres.One of the first signs of autumn is the swaths of C. hederifolium beneath trees in older gardens – each one a perfect pink miniature version of a shop-bought cyclamen at about 8cm tall. The leaves tend to emerge later and cover the ground all winter with a carpet of silver-marked dark green. Like snowdrops, every plant has differently-marked leaves.There is a white form, too – 'Album', which is particularly lovely if allowed to spread to form drifts. In the garden they will flourish beneath trees and shrubs, even conifers if the shade is not too deep. Since grass grows weakly in shade, they can be planted in lawns and allowed to seed and spread (known as naturalising), but you'll need to stop mowing from August to May while the cyclamen are in leaf. The flowers of the later-blooming C. coum (each one no more than 1.5cm on 6cm-long stems) vary from deep dark magenta through every shade of pink to pure white.In January and February it is the brightest and most reliable splash of colour to be had – during frosts, flowers and leaves wilt, but they perk up as soon as the temperature rises above freezing. As plants grow and seedlings spread, their characteristic dobs of pink can do so much to liven up both gardens and containers. The magenta forms in particular look very good with snowdrops.Most C. coum have dark green leaves, but some forms – known as the pewter or silver group – have striking silver leaves. C. coum has colour, hardiness and reliability, so the dumpy shape of its flowers is easily forgiven.By March, another species – C. repandum – is ready to take over to finish the cyclamen season. With large and elegantly shaped pink flowers, it makes an impact close to, but at 12cm tall it is too easily overwhelmed by the tulips and daffodils of the spring garden. Unlike many spring bulbs, however, it will self-seed and spread like the other hardy cyclamens I have mentioned earlier.Cyclamen careAll hardy cyclamen grow best in well-drained, humus-rich soil. While they will thrive in full sun, most gardeners prefer to grow them in the shade of deciduous trees and shrubs. What they dislike most (apart from soggy, wet soil) is disturbance and competition – which rules them out of planting among perennials in the border.The places they thrive tend to be unattractive for many larger and later-flowering plants. They can be planted beneath shrubs, especially if these have their lower branches removed; and can be combined with other late-winter and spring-flowering plants such as snow-drops, scillas, pulmonarias and dwarf daffodils. In containers they are best grown in their own pot sunk into the compost – when they have finished flowering, lift out the cyclamen in its pot and plant it in a shady spot for summer.Suppliers Ashwood Nurseries; Broadleigh Bulbs; Tile Barn Nursery.

Opened in 2007, this $25m museum's mission is not only to prove the veracity of a literal reading of Genesis but also to present Darwinism as one the most dangerous and corrupting ideologies yet known to humankind.The museum is not for woolly-minded creationists. The six days of creation are six 24-hour days (no fudge there) and the earth is just over 6,000 years old. The cosmic contest is between the word of God and human reason. Intelligent design is dismissed as a mere concession to frailty. The museum is really the Museum of Biblical Literalism: Darwinism is responsible for war, drug abuse, societal breakdown and racism. The account of racism and the ways in which evolutionary theories fuelled notions of racial superiority in the 19th and 20th centuries does have a degree of historical traction to it. But the existence of all these evils, including slavery, before the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859 is strangely absent from the analysis.One of things that struck us as visitors is just how many dinosaurs were about in Eden – and there is nothing like some animatronic dinosaurs for appealing to schoolchildren, or to a pair of priests. Especially toothy creatures look benignly at Adam and Eve as they relax in what appears to be a prelapsarian Jacuzzi. Much to our surprise, we learned that the dinosaurs survived Noah's flood – it didn't provide a convenient way to write them out of the narrative. We should have known better: as Genesis maintains that "two of every kind" made it on to the ark, this included a pair of Tyrannosaurus rexes, blessedly vegetarian before the flood like every other living creature, clearly shown by the size and shape of their teeth in the fossil record.That our world is now impoverished by the absence of dinosaurs is the result of either human beings hunting them to extinction (our fault) or climate change (definitely not our fault). The point at which we both needed a cup of tea was the short film explaining how legends such as Saint George and the dragon might well be a fragment of collective human memory of dinosaurs, since the flood was less than 4,000 years ago.All this is easy for a smug Anglican like me to mock, although the recent appointment of a bishop for Peterborough who is in print as saying "what the Bible teaches us about history or geography … all this is to believed and obeyed without reservation" takes some wind out of my denominational sails. And I can already hear the "sky-pixie" brigade rushing to tell me that what I believe is no different in kind from the beliefs of the creationists and that the last 200 years of scholarly biblical criticism is just a form of cheating for people who don't have the courage of their convictions.But the real challenge to biblical literalism and fundamentalism is to be found in the Bible itself. The first two chapters of Genesis contain two creation stories, not one. In Genesis 1-2:3, the earth, the plants, the animals and the first two human beings ("male and female he created them in his own image and likeness") are created in that order. In the rest of Genesis 2, Adam is made first, then all plants and animals, and then Eve. Awkward. This crucial and intriguing feature of the Genesis text is ignored in the Creation Museum presentation – perhaps reading the first 1,500 words of the Bible carefully is giving in to human reason. For those who believe as I do, that the Bible is be to read both as a historically conditioned set of texts and as the word of God, Genesis chapters 1-2 can be seen as an inspired elephant trap – or should I say an inspired dinosaur trap? – for biblical literalism.

After a review of clinical trial data, spontaneous reports of suspected adverse drug reactions, and published literature, the agency concluded: "Product information for statins is being updated to reflect a number of different side-effects as class effects of all statins."Everyone likes to be informed, and many people make an informed decision to stop taking statins because of well-documented side effects such as muscle problems.What was the MHRA going to put on the new labels? "Patients should be made aware that treatment with any statin may sometimes be associated with depression, sleep disturbances, memory loss and sexual dysfunction." It also planned a warning to explain that – very rarely – statin therapy might be associated with interstitial lung disease.Now, before we go any further, we should be clear on one thing. There are lots of people who want to tell you that statins do more harm than good, and many of these people have vitamin pills and magic diet books to sell.Back in the real world, the evidence shows that statins are effective: they reduce your risk of having a heart attack, and your risk of death over a given time period, but they reduce these risks as a proportion of your pre-existing risk, so if you are at high risk of having a heart attack to start with, a statin is more worthwhile than if you're moderate risk. Although, of course, you still have to decide if you're the kind of person who feels enthusiastic about taking a preventive drug every day for years on end.And we should also remember that some of these new side-effects, like many of the zillions of side-effects listed on patient leaflets, are only weakly associated with the drug. These are warning notices and some of them are based on circumstantial evidence, speculation and preliminary data.But this side-effects information is made available for all drugs, because it's strong enough to be worth sharing, because it might be useful to somebody somewhere, because it might make doctors more inclined to take a specific side-effect more seriously from patients, because they might act as a focus for more detailed quantitative work.This is not the new thalidomide and it is not a story about how statins are a hidden killer: this is, rather, a story about how risk information is disseminated to patients and doctors, and how it can be disappeared.The decision to add these new side-effects to the label was made in February 2008, but in November 2009 the labelling implementation has just been announced, a full 21 months later.Why did it take so long? the MHRA – the regulator of the pharmaceutical industry, which is funded by the pharmaceutical industry – delayed for one reason: "One of the innovator MA [marketing authorisation] holders was not in agreement with this wording."So a drug company has been able to delay the inclusion of safety warnings on a drug prescribed to 4 million people for 21 months because it didn't agree with the wording. There is no conceivable world in which this is a good thing.
