The first Crocus shows itself, with many more to follow. The name of the crocus is derived from Greek krokos. This in turn is probably a borrowed word from a Semitic language, related to Hebrew karkom, Aramaic kurkama, Persian and Arabic, meaning saffron or saffron yellow. The name ultimately comes from Sanskrit. Crocus is a genus in the iris family, with about 80 species. Crocuses are native to woodland, scrub and meadows from sea level to alpine tundra in central and southern Europe,North Africa and Middle East and across Central Asia but they do always look good and very rewarding to see them come up every Spring in the English cottage garden.
