Hi,

I don't have a predator problem. My small number of saffron corms are in
pots in a secure greenhouse.

My problem has been why commercially supplied large saffron corms don't
flower in their first Autumn.

I understand that the corm is replaced each year, so lack of success the
second Autumn is my fault.

You can see my photo (#4 of row #2) of the relationship of new and old
crocus corms on this wiki page:

There is another wiki page with a photo (#1) comparing the leaves of
various species:

For me saffron leaves were a lot longer than for other species.
