I have crocus growing on my window sill right now so that I can play with the saffron in soap! It just started blooming, so I will keep you informed. BTW, the bulbs were $0.99 each.
Just wondering, wouldn't adding buds on top be easier and stick better if you put them on the bottom of mold before pouring? I've only made HP, did this with dried orange zest and it turned out okay.
