* The saffron crocus (Crocus sativus), is cultivated from a crocus native to Crete, to Southwest Asia., or to Asia Minor, depending on your source.

Wikipedia has additional information on this, the plant from which the world's most expensive spice is derived. You'll find a link to that post below. * Saffron, the most expensive spice in the world, is made from the stigma (threads) of the Crocus flower.

Ninety-five per cent of the world's saffron actually comes from Iraq. * Historians know Saffron belongs to the ancients, but cannot tell where it was first cultivated, but they did find evidence that Saffron was cultivated in ancient 'Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) over 5,000 years ago.
