Crocus 番紅花

Species：  Crocus (Crocus sp.)

Crocuses rank among the most popular spring flowers. However, there are also crocuses that flourish in autumn. They reproduce by development of small new corms or seeds. The young corms grow densely to the earth surface. If they have a size above 2mm, their contractile roots will pull them 5cm into the earth.
