I bought a few Saffron crocus bulbs last year and apparently it takes a year for them to bear flowers. Up they sprouted this week, hopefully with lovely red stigmas to follow.
Wikipedia tells me that to obtain 454g of Saffron stigmas would require between 50,000 - 75,000 flowers. Wholesale costs of saffron start at $US1100/kg. I guess I won't be making my fortune with this lot :)

April until June garden Set of 150 bulbs - 150 Flower Bulbs
A glorious garden with 6 different varieties blooming practically all spring. Starting with the snow flowering crocus bulbs and the intense blue snow drift in early April, followed by the glorious blooms of the 'Twinkling Stars' ipheion that bloom from mid April all the way into May, then by the intense blue and red poppy Anemones. The grande finale will be the burgundy red blooms of the Allium ostrowskianum blooming end of May early June. Give this fine collection a good mulch cover during fall and they will re-appear to flower for years to come!
