February 8, 2016 - My Ongoing Search
for Insect Pollinators & Herbivores
Bumblebees,
Crocus
and Saffron
albeit, I am
uncertain whether this is the exact saffron crocus, described in
Wikipedia. Jump to Species
- About 30 of the species are cultivated, including Crocus
sativus for saffron production. The varieties cultivated for
decoration mainly represent five species: C. vernus, C. chrysanthus,
C. flavus, C. sieberi, and C. tommasinianus. Among the first flowers
to bloom in spring, crocuses are popular with gardeners. Unknown in
the wild, probably descends from Crocus
cartwrightianus, which originated in Crete;[8]
C.
thomasii and C.
pallasii are other possible precursors.[9][10]
I took my photographs and videographs
on February 8, 2016, and only now am re-posting on July 19, 2016.
