Hi Theresa, The flower is a saffron flower, the bloom of a saffron 'corm' (bulb). Crocus sativus is the botanical name. If you have luck growing saffron, please report back!

I would grow Saffron for the beautiful flowers alone. Who knew to soak the stigmas in milk. Unfortunately thus far I would say I fall into the camp of only using saffron to colour rice but I have printed off the Lamb and Quince tagine recipe in an attempt to further my culinary saffron skills.
