spring crocus

[John]

are crocus safe too feed leopards?

I'm pretty sure that the stamen of crocus is saffron. Rabbits and deer love crocus, so I think it would be edible.

Here's a nice article on edible flowers:

They say no to crocus. Like most things I imagine a little won't be fatal, but I've seen enough references to crocus being poisonous I wouldn't do it.

The "general" rule seems to be if it comes from a bulb in its not tortoise safe. I'm sure there are bound to be exceptions.

Yeah, "Dave's Garden" says that spring crocus is edible but fall crocus is toxic. What's the difference?
