Saffron

I made an astonishing discovery today!  Saffron (the highly priced spice) is the stamen of a specific Crocus.  It's fall flowering and can grow in the gardening zone where I live.

Crocus Sativus




Each blossom has three stamens.  Lucky for me Amazon has 10-packs for $6.49.  I ordered two packs.
