Crocus – spring's messenger, arriving before the snow is gone
At KvětinyExpres.cz, the crocus is one of spring's first greetings – it often blooms before the last snow has even left the garden. Its cup-shaped flowers in rich colours are a small but unmistakable sign that winter is on its way out.
Facts that will win you over:
- A relative of saffron: One of its close relatives, Crocus sativus, is the source of saffron – the world's most expensive spice, hand-picked from its stigmas.
- A colourful palette: Crocuses bloom from white and yellow through to deep purple, often with delicate veining on the petals.
- Symbolism: It represents youthful joy, cheerfulness and new beginnings – a lovely gift to welcome spring or celebrate a new baby.
Florist Míša's tip: "I love crocuses gathered into small, dense bunches – their short stems are perfect for low vases and bowls. I'd recommend keeping them somewhere cool and out of direct sun, and they'll stay beautifully open for several days. Take a look at our crocus, currently in our range."
