Notes :
The Crocus genus is much varied, with a wide range of different species. The name comes from Ancient Greek Krokos which means “fabric thread”; it hints at the long stigmas of the flowers. Crocus is a bulbous geophyte plant. Bulbous geophytes are herbaceous perennial plants which carry the new growth buds underground inside a bulb. The only leaves are basal, i.e. they are generated directly from the bulb. Crocus flowers are much diffused on the hillsides and subalpine meadows of Southern Europe.
