The saffron crocus (crocus sativus) bulbs finally arrived from Lambley Nursery and I am going to have my own (small) field of saffron next year.
I'm thinking of Crete, of Iran, of Paella.

About Me
- Elizabeth
- I live in Ballarat, an old goldfields town, in the central west of Victoria, but southerly in relation to the world. I love Chinese architecture, the post-goldfields towns and countryside of central Victoria, and I love the practice and the art of history. This year I'm beginning a research project on Ballarat in the 1870s.

Oh they will be lovely - will you be able to collect a little bit for cooking?
I've had some plants from Lambley via mail-order but I haven't actually been to the nursery yet?
Have you been there?
Yes, Lambley's worth a visit, much better than its website makes it look.
I really hope to be able to get some usable saffron. Apparently Iranians have a saffron drink only made with fresh spice which I'd love to try. It is a really fascinating spice.
