My #saffron has been emerging for a bit over a week, I'm excited to see if I get flowers! I planted these last autumn and the seller said they should produce this year.

I'm just glad I managed not to kill them!! I was half expecting nothing to come up, especially considering that ants took over the pot in the summer. 😬

I just harvested my first #saffron! I totally missed this bud when I checked earlier, but it wasn't open an hour ago so I know I got it right after the sun came out. This is so exciting!! 💜
Got another one! Let's see if any more #saffron corm tips emerge today.
@nessotropheion Slugs really like the flowers, so watch out.
@Chris haha, this makes me very grateful to be gardening on a balcony where I've never seen any slugs or snails
