The Charming History of Crocuses
Crocuses belong to the Iris family (Iridaceae) and are native to Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. The most famous species, Crocus sativus, is the source of saffron, one of the most valuable spices in the world. This saffron crocus has been cultivated for over 3,500 years, with records of its use in ancient Greece, Mesopotamia, and Persia.
The name “crocus” comes from the Greek word krokos, meaning saffron, and it was often associated with wealth, healing, and love in ancient cultures. The flower has been admired for both its beauty, its usefulness, as well as being a charming symbol for Spring.
