Hi Tim, A Big Thank You! to you and your friend for sharing the saffron bulbs! :-) they look like a good size, and I hope I can get them to grow and bloom. Seems like they are a fall bulb and some say plant immediately. Although they came from an in-ground bed, I’m thinking of planting them in a deep at least 6” pot with the 2 parts horticultural sand, 1 perlite, and 1 compost (tho Jane McGary recommended forest humus and coarse sand). Plus sand and granite below for drainage. Would that work? Question for all is: should I plant and water it now ? I’m in SF Bay Area, probably a zone 9b. With Very dry summers, no rain till late October and I’m afraid of critters eating them up. Much thanks, -Elaine. saffron Tim Eck via pbs (Wed, 01 Jul 2020 14:54:27 PDT) All, A friend is going to take out a saffron bed and I will plant them but I should be able to spare a few hundred offsets for the BX if there is any interest. (That's meant as a question) tim _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
