Yeah... crazy expensive... but the bulbs - not so much. I think most of the mark-up is that you get so few threads from one flower. That is a lot of real-estate for so little of a payoff.
And then these things are so small... I can't imagine having the job picking all those tiny little saffron threads.
Thank you all for letting me know you enjoyed the photo.
What a gorgeous photo! Did you take it?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Yep... this one is mine. I just got these in the ground a month ago and didn't expect to see anything until spring.
ReplyDeleteOooo... purty.
ReplyDeleteExpensive ass stuff :)
