True saffron is native to Asia Minor and southern Europe. Its blue-violet, lily-shaped flowers contain orange stigmas (part of the pistil) and red style branches, which are collected to produce the spice saffron. Mature stigmas are collected by hand during a short blooming season. More than 200,000 dried stigmas, obtained from about 70,000 flowers, yield 0.5 kg of true saffron. Saffron commands as much as $30 per ounce in the American market.
