We need to find meaning. We need to be useful. We need to know that who we are matters. I give, you give, we all give.

It must be bulb planting time for next Spring? This photo looks like crocus but maybe not?
It has green stems all summer, then they die back, and up pops these gorgeous girls every fall. I think it’s called a fall crocus.
HI Maryjane,
as I said in an earlier post, I am about to embark on cheesemaking thanks to you!! Look for a card and small package in the mail soon.
I think these may be Saffron Crocus, not sure but they bloom in the fall and you collect the 3 orange stamens which when dried are the spice saffron
I didn’t know that!!! Awesome.
Wow, I have never heard of fall crocus with the added benefit of saffron spice. Very cool! Crocus are one of my all time favorite of the early spring bulb flowers.
Good luck with your cheese adventures, Lisa! That sounds exciting and will no doubt be delicious too.
Thanks Winnie! I live where it is easy to get raw milk although MaryJanes’s book does give recipes using pasturized milk too,
