I planted two dozen Crocus sativus corms earlier this autumn. Today, the first flower emerged, bearing three dark orange threads of saffron.

This pollinator seems to enjoy having a late-season flower to visit. Hopefully she’ll have a few more blooms to choose from in the next few days!

Drafting a copy of the single pair of karate pants I own, so I can sew myself a second pair.
