Saffron Crocus bulbs

Once in a while we all come across a garden product, plant, or producer that stands out from all others because of excellence. I recently purchased some saffron crocus from a producer in Wilmot here in Tasmania. The bulbs were of such superb quality that felt the urge to share the source with other gardeners.
Like most amateur cooks I dreamt of growing my own saffron to use fresh for such dishes as paella but had experienced difficulty in either getting bulbs of a decent quality or purchasing them in less than wholesale quantities.
By accident I heard of Peter Huber at Wilmot a small farming community on the way to Cradle Mountain. Peter sold me the most perfect bulbs I have ever seen, in small quantity to suit my small herb garden, he is a mine of highly professional information regarding the culture of saffron and as it happened the use of the stigmas in cooking.
I can earnestly recommend Peter's product to anyone wishing to extend their culinary and horticultural experiences. Peters e-mail address is below.

| Why thankyou John! I got a few Crocus Sativus corms from a friend of mine, he has previously perchased them from Hill View Rare Plants in Hobart. I shall give Peter Huber an e-mail, and see what else he has to offer. Cheers,
