[Sca-cooks] Saffron, yet again...

[Gorgeous Muiredach]

Having HGTV in the background, I raised an eye when he talked about Crocus
Sativus.  He pointed out that's the flower you get saffron out of.  Well,
yeah, doh!  I knew that.  For some weird reason, I'd never made the
connection from the flowers to actually planting them and growing them
myself :-)

I am in the process of thinking about flower beds and all.

Anyone has tried growing their own?
