Description
The saffron crocus. It is generally believed that C. sativus is a form of C. cashmirianus. The flower colour is lilac-purple with beautiful veins. The relatively large orange-red stigmas usually protrude above the flower and seems like they only hang to one side. The leaves and the flower appear simultaneously, sometimes the leaves are a bit earlier. Each flower contains a pistil with three stigmas. Approximately 600 to 700 flowers are needed for five grams of precious saffron.
