Crocus: They are perennial, tuberous, gypsy pink or blue flowering herbaceous plants. The flowers bloom in spring or autumn, depending on the type. Species that bloom in spring have long flower tubes with ovaries under the ground. The flowers close at night or in bad weather. The homeland of crocus is the Alps, Southern Europe and the Mediterranean. It is a sought-after and loved plant in gardening because of its flowers.

Saffron is grown in Safranbolu, Turkey.
