150
flowers for one gram
  1. 1Underground, the corm wakes and sends out roots
  2. 2A white flower tube and thin leaves break the soil
  3. 3Before sunrise the bud opens into six violet tepals
  4. 4Three red stigmas, the saffron itself, reach out of the flower

Each saffron flower holds only three red threads. One gram of saffron takes about a hundred and fifty flowers, opened and picked.
