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...

Oooh - nab those fronds and be nice to the bulbs Apparently they do like it to be dry!

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.

Amazing! I now have saffron envy, mine have only just popped through the soil.

Mine are just the same - a few shoots and that's it!

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
