I planted saffron crocus bulbs this fall, in what used to the garlic bed. The bulbs were a sell-off from a grower in NS who offered the bulbs to NS gardening clubs. So far, they have been pretty cool - highly recommend! The first flower showed up after about 6 weeks. They continued to bloom in small numbers. Two more have appeared this morning, but they must be the last. We've had lots of cold temps, a couple of short hail storms, and a tiny bit of snow.
I've made saffron rice a couple of times but don't have the right balance yet. I'll post a recipe when it works.
Photos are the flowers picked two days ago.
