Our saffron has started flowering again. It's the very long orange bits (not the yellow bits) you take out and dry.

They are also quite scented, if you like that sort of thing.

Just a quick reminder to those with the Saffron bulbs, they should be starting to flower about now. They only open for a day or so and are loved by slugs so keep checking them. If it's wet outside I tend to pick the whole flower and leave them indoors for a while to open. Interestingly the ones I left in the ground have started to flower on exactly the same day as last year but I planted most of my bulbs late this year and they're yet to put in an appearance.
