* T. .he crocus has been known throughout recorded history, mainly as the source of saffron. Saffron is obtained from the dried stigma of Crocus sativus, an autumn-blooming species. It is valued as a spice and dyestuff, and is one of the most expensive spices in the world. Iran is the center of saffron production.
They arrived in Europe from Turkey in the 16th century and became valued as an ornamental flowering plant.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocus
