    Saffron anyone!

    I know this is edible but I have put if in the flower mill forum - Mods, please move if in the wrong place .... aah - erm
    I think this might be classed as flower cruelty but my friend gave me some saffron bulbs and I left them on a sunny windowsill. I happened to look at the bag and noticed a shoot so I thought it best to plant them Imagine my surprise when I opened the bag and found this...

      Yeah, but MONTHS without water - I wondered why I could hear something begging for a drink

        Sometimes a bit of neglect works wonders. We have a garden near us that is always neglected and always has the biggest flower blooms.

                You see, what you should have done was left them in the bag dying of thirst and hunger
                I promise that they'll be in a nice bed tomorrow with a lovely cool drink of water Bins
