Yesterday's Answer, Today's Question

Yesterday's Answer:


The country formerly known as Ceylon is now named Sri Lanka.







Today's Question:


What herb is derived from the crocus.




I don't know this one, though I must say I did not realize flower parts can be considered herbs. Upon further reading I found an herb is a plant part used as medicine, for cooking, or as perfume--rather than being a specific whole plant of a certain type.
