Plant of the Day

Wednesday 22 November 2023

Colchicum speciosum 'Album' (giant meadow saffron) naturalise well in either a semi-shady or sunny spot. They flower without their leaves (they appear after flowering) so benefit from being planted amongst other low-growing plants to give them some protection. The plants are toxic if eaten.

Saffron Rice Flower (#f8d32f to #f0feeb)

[urban-homesteading]

Saffron comes from the saffron crocus bulb (Crocus sativus), which is an autumn blooming crocus.  As long as you live somewhere with a growing season and where temperatures don’t regularly get below -10 degrees F, you can easily grow the world’s most expensive spice. 

The fall-blooming, purple-flowered saffron crocus grows from a bulb-like structure called a corm.

Plant the corms in spring or in the early fall, to a depth of about four to six inches.  Plant in well-drained soil that gets lots of sun.

When you plant your saffron crocus bulbs, place them in the ground at about 3 to 5 inches deep and at least 6 inches apart. 

About 50 to 60 saffron flowers will produce about 1 tablespoon of saffron spice, so keep this in mind when figuring how many to plant. Keep in mind that saffron crocus multiply rapidly, so in a few year’s time you will have more than enough.

As they are fall-blooming crocuses, you will plant them in the fall, but they will probably not bloom the year you plant them. Instead, you’ll see foliage in the spring, which will die back, and saffron flowers the following fall.

When the flower comes into bloom in the autumn, the elongated, red stigmas are plucked from the flower.

Spread the harvested stigmas on a cookie sheet to dry in a warm room until they easily crumble.

When stored in an air-tight container, dried saffron remains fresh for up to two years.

Each bulb produces one flower and each flower produces three stigmas.

As soon as the flowers fade, you can gently dig up the crocuses and separate the bulbs, replanting them immediately. Doing this yearly quickly results in a large colony, but if you only want to take on this task every three or four years, that’s okay. Just remember to divide them before the corms become over-crowded and production is affected.

Ha, fooled ya! I DO have something Valentine’s related! And it’s Strahd/Patrina- Of course it’s Strahd/Patrina, hope you missed them, because I miss them so freaking much I’m about to die

Few words about the flower

No About ✨ THE FLOWER ✨

Strahd holds the Meadow Saffron, which stands for “my best days are past”. I used it in the previous artwork, I really like this flower. But what Patrina does here with that red thread - she gives the flower some kind of pistils, making it resemble the Saffron Crocus, aka Autumn Crocus, which is not only the source of the hella expensive spice but is also the symbol of mirth. I’m not crying, I swear.

Also, the messiest lily of the valley on the background means “return to happiness”. And the red thread, of course, by itself is a reference to all that soulmate thing.

The snow has not melted everywhere, and in some places the meadows are still white. Crocuses bloom among the dry grass - small and fragile flowers! Every year they grow in spite of the snows and the merciless winds blowing. It is unusual to watch their festive attire, to watch them bloom and confidently carry spring with them!

Не везде растаяли снега, и кое-где белы ещё луга. Среди сухой травы цветут крокусы - маленькие и хрупкие цветы! Каждый год они растут назло снегам и дующим безжалостным ветрам. Непривычно наблюдать их праздничный наряд, смотреть, как они цветут и весну с собой уверенно несут!
