Whenev...Helmut, thank you for reading and linking. Whenever one posts 8,000 words on a flower part, it does occur to one that readership may be particularly light. I am so happy to know you didn't give it a miss. I may leave saffron alone for a few months now, but I have yet to consider its history as a dye or a fragrance -- that's 4,000 years of use right there -- and have only tangentially considered it as a medicine. It has, as well, esoteric applications to Christianity -- like most precious substances. So I am deeply encouraged that you are reading.Elatia Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466781469638298006noreply@blogger.com
