Crocus (plural: Croci or Crocuses) is a genus of plants in the Iridaceae (Iris) family that includes 90 species[1] of perennial plants.
Many are grown for their flowers, which appear in spring, fall, or winter. Crocuses are endemic to the meadows, scrubland, and woodland from the alpine tundra to sea level in the Middle East and North Africa, Central Asia, Southern, and Central Europe, particularly on the Aegean islands of Krokos, Greece.
