Within the group of spring-blooming crocuses, a distinction can be made between botanical species and large-flowered garden crocuses. Botanical crocuses have smaller flowers and bloom as early as February. Garden crocuses bloom later.
Most crocuses available for purchase are hybrids. Crocus is Greek and Arabic for saffron, referring to Crocus sativus (an autumn crocus) from which the spice saffron is derived. Since 1550, it has been cultivated in the Netherlands as an ornamental plant. Legend has it that Crocus, a handsome youth from Arcadia, was fatally struck by a discus thrown by his Olympic friend, the god Hermes, and where his blood fell, purple flowers—crocuses—sprouted.
