She was also thought to have been responsible for the transformations of Adonis, Attis, Crocus, Hyacinthus and Narcissus into flowers.

It has been observed eating flowers of Crocus vernus albiflorus, including the pistils, perhaps as a source of carotenoids.

Many other genera, both perennials and bulbs, are grown in gardens in tropical and temperate regions ( e. g. Watsonia, Crocus, Dietes, Tritonia, Hesperantha and Neomarica ).

The first crocus seen in the Netherlands, where Crocus species are not native, were from corms brought back in the 1560s from Constantinople by the Holy Roman Emperor's ambassador to the Sublime Porte, Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq.

In particular, the DNA data suggest that there are no grounds for isolating Crocus banaticus in its own subgenus Crociris, even though it is a unique species in the genus.

Two second-generation techniques are currently in development: Thermal Assisted Switching ( TAS ), which is being developed by Crocus Technology, and spin-transfer torque ( STT ) on which Crocus, Hynix, IBM, and several other companies are working.

Genera such as Crocus and Iris are significant components of the floras of parts of Eurasia, and Iris also is well represented in North America.

Other centers of diversity are temperate South and Central America ( with several small genera ) and the Mediterranean region ( Iris and Crocus ).

Major dysploid series are restricted to a few genera, such as Romulea, the related Crocus as well as Gladiolus and Lapeirousia ( all members of subfamily Crocoideae ), and Iris, Moraea, and Sisyrinchium ( Iridoideae ).

Several other genera ( e. g., Crocus, Dietes, Sparaxis, Tritonia, Watsonia ) are cultivated in gardens in both tropical and temperate areas.

The 2nd generation is being developed mainly through two approaches: Thermal Assisted Switching ( TAS ) which is being developed by Crocus Technology, and Spin Torque Transfer ( STT ) which Crocus, Hynix, IBM, and several other companies are developing.

The ruins of the Old Court House are located on Crocus Hill, the island's highest point.

Saffron is obtained from the dried styles of Crocus sativus L., a member of the iris family.

All variations of the city's name derive from the original ( and current ) appellation in Greek: Θεσσαλονίκη ( from Θεσσαλός, Thessalos, and Νίκη, Nike ), literally translating to " Thessalian Victory " and in origin the name of a princess, Thessalonike of Macedon, who was named so because she was born on the day of the Macedonian victory at the Battle of Crocus Field.

Crocus ( plural: crocuses, croci ) is a genus in the iris family comprising about 80 species of perennials growing from corms.

The spice saffron is obtained from the stigmas of Crocus sativus, an autumn / fall-blooming species.

Crocus adanensis and Crocus caspius should probably be removed from Biflori ; Crocus adanensis falls in a clade with Crocus paschei as a sister group to the species of series Flavi ; Crocus caspius appears to be sister to the species of series Orientales.

numbers form the series x = 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 ; and Crocus, where every number from x

* Crocus, 90 species from Mediterranean Europe to Northwestern China.

Another popular member of the family is Crocus sativus ; the spice saffron – obtained from the stigma – has been used for centuries in folk medicine as an antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, expectorant, narcotic and sedative.

More recently, David Bird has speculated that the name might derive from a personal name, Crocus: he suggests a family connection with the documented Chrocus, king of the Alemanni, who allegedly played a part in the proclamation of Constantine as emperor at York in AD 306.

Competition has also increased from online garden centres such as Crocus, Greenfingers and Gardening Express, although companies such as Capital Gardens, Dobbies, Riverside Garden Centre and The Garden Centre Group have now responded by developing and marketing their own online operations.

Murray acknowledged that the Progressive Conservatives had received reports of irregularities at Crocus as early as 2002, but refrained from criticism after assurances from party advisers that the fund was in proper order.

His statement was met with strong opposition from Crocus, which threatened legal action.

Perhaps most surprisingly, autumn-flowering Crocus longiflorus, the type species of series Longiflori ( long regarded by Mathew as " a disparate assemblage "), now seems to lie within series Verni.

His performances included: The Pursuit of Happiness ( touring with it across the U.

The ' Crocus Field ' in Thessaly matches this description, and the battle is therefore now known as the Battle of Crocus Field ; however, this plain is so large that firmly identifying the battle-site has proved impossible.
