Dear all;
	IN all the posts I don't think any said it clearly and I hope 
some can give short answers to these questions, all related to Crocus 
sativus:

	1. Is there more than one clone of saffron?
and
	2. Are there color forms of Saffron?

	3. The plants sometimes sold by large commercial dealers as 
'white flowered saffron' is actually _____________(fill in the blank)

	I have my thoughts, but let's hear from these list experts.

		Best	Jim W.
