Fall Crocus

These are fall crocus.  On their stamen - golden tendrils and tops in the center - is the exotic and precious spice saffron.

Addendum:

In some of the literature that I have read it is said that the saffron is on the stigma.  It is very hard to see so I am attaching a diagram of the flower as a link.
