Did I mention Saffron

Petal planted 30+ Saffron Corms here last Autumn, this year most of what we planted are up, with flowering being pretty spectacular. We’ve had about fourteen flowers up until now, but today there looks to be seven flowers that may open if it gets sunny later in the day.

The flowers are being harvested as you’d expect, so these are well worth growing, even just for the flower beauty.

Here are a couple of shots of a couple to date.

***Update – We managed 25 Flowers from 35 plants, so not too bad.
