Bloomed: Crocus

2016
Crocus sativus

A native of Southern Europe and Asia, the crocus is a member of the iris family and is characterised by its solitary long-tubed flowers and slender linear leaves. Cultivated since 500 BC, this species of flower is used for medicines, perfumes, dyes and as a luxury spice (saffron is derived from the dried stigmas of the purple-flowered crocus and is regarded the most expensive spice in the world).

The lilac bouquet stands majestically, with each flower slightly closed, as if unperturbed by the viewer's presence. Upon interaction from said viewer however, the flowers begin to reveal their playful nature. Petals flap in a dance of lavender with the flowers eventually fully revealing to the viewer their most prized possessions: the yellow stamens.
