My first saffron bulb started flowering! Harvest time!

Hi steemians, it's been awhile since I was online... busy with other stuff :-)
A few months ago I planted some saffron bulbs in my garden. I live in Belgium and always thought that saffron was something grown in the tropics. I was really surprised when I found out that it's possible to grow these flowers in colder climates.
