Can you really get saffron from these..as I remember from Iran, it took acres of saffron for one small amount of saffron..which is why it was so expensive…anyway, how wonderful for you Even a few pinches add to flavor! Xoxo barb Sent from my iPad
It would take acres to have any quantity as each flower produces three stamens. These are saffron. There might be enough to flavor a cup of rice with a few dozen bulbs.

Such a special gift. Look forward to seeing these in bloom!
Yes, a very special gift. I will post photos when they bloom.
oh what a divine gift, I hope they are prolific and that you will share images in the fall
I promise to share photos and look forward to seeing those beautiful stamens.
Isnt that one of the lovely things about blogging – the way bloggers are happy to share plants, seeds, knowledge
I so enjoy the company of bloggers. Meeting all these gardeners and sharing is heartwarming. I am always amazed at the generosity.
What a lovely, thoughtful gift! I hope you will give us an update later this year!
I promise to.
