Thanks! I learned a few things here. I didn't realize saffron came from that pretty autumn crocus. And good to know about the #foraging category. Will be checking that one out as I would like to learn more, especially about edible mushrooms.

You're welcome! I'll make a post about the real Saffron crocus pretty soon. In the meantime, there's a little more information in one of my recent posts: A Small Fall-flowering Crocus. There are some great foragers here on Steemit! I've learned some things here myself!
I will watch for your post and also keep my eyes opened for some bulbs next year! It's always fun growing plants with an interesting usage or history.
Saffron crocus seem really easy to grow, too. I don't have to do much for them. I don't even water them in our dry summers. They do like good drainage.
