Crocus sativus

The Saffron crocus
Really, you can grow your own saffron one of the most expensive spices in the world.

 They are autumn blooming crocus. 
The first day they bloom pick the flowers and carefully remove the three red stigmas. Dry these  a bit and then save for that special dish. 
You will need about 4 - 6 flowers  for a pinch of saffron.




Remove the 3  sigmas carefully

I am going to try and dry the petals
