CROCUS
CROCUS
In the iris family, the crocus is a genus of flowers that derived its name from the Latin word crocatus, which means saffron yellow.
The spice saffron is obtained from the stigmas of Crocus sativus, an autumn-blooming species. Saffron from the crocus flower is used as a spice to season foods, and is also known as an anti-carcinogenic and an antioxidant and boosts the immune system. Its fragrance is used in perfumes and cosmetics.
