The husband bought three bulbs and placed them on top of a plate on the balcony a few weeks ago. No dirt, no water. He said they would make saffron. Honestly, I didn’t believe these dry-looking bulbs would do anything. In a matter of two days, they suddenly sprouted and bloomed. We harvested the red stems.
Have you ever seen or tried growing saffron?

Oooh. Should we eat the red bits, or not? And how can this crocus bloom with no soil and no water? J-son, your advice is most appreciated.
