Mine have little green leaves! And T, those are beautiful! That's great Holly. Mine are just shooting too so I wonder how yours are going to cope with the hemispherical translocation. They are lovely looking flowers. But some little flower munching bug has developed expensive tastes, and is snacking on my flowers  T |

I've got a bag full of pea sized corms just starting to shoot and I'm scratching my head about where I'm going to plant them. might have to throw them out...  T At the very least, I'd scatter some in a sunny, dry area and see what happens! |

I sort of stuffed mine or so i thought,after i brought them i took them out to my tunnelhouse and put them on the potting bench.some people called,i got distracted and it wasn't till the end of the day that i thought "#$%@ oh no",the heat of the day had made the small bantam egg sized bulbs go soft,i chucked em in anyway thinking i wont get any,the two that did come up are now growing in among potato onions seedlings,luckily the spacing of the onions is of such the saffron has room to grow.

Out of curiosity does saffron produce seed? Saffron is a sterile triploid. No seeds are forthcoming. One could try doubling the ploidy to see if fertility is restored but is it worth the trouble? And would a hexaploid saffron produce saffron? |
