Crocus Legends
Crocus is associated with many different legends, the heroes of which were even the inhabitants of Olympus. So one ancient Greek legend says that somehow the god Hermes arranged a discus throw competition with his close friend - Krok. But Hermes did not calculate his strength and hit the young man with a disc - this injury was fatal. In the place where the unfortunate blood stained the earth, a beautiful crocus flower grew, like the young man himself.

According to Buddhist tradition, the crocus flower was presented to people by the arhat Nimatun himself, who brought saffron from heaven and sowed it in Kashmir. Thanks to this legend, India is considered the birthplace of crocus.
