Let's catch Milad Tower red gold

Here is a photo of saffron crocus grown within walking distance of Milad Tower in the Iranian capital city of Tehran. 

Due to the agreeable climate and soil conditions in several parts of the capital, the flowering plants of saffron spice, known as Iran's red gold, have been grown in a pilot study to check whether they could survive. 

The photo shows that was a good try and you can enjoy watching saffron crocus while having an amazing trip to iconic Milad Tower.

The small amount of saffron spice per plant, along with the fact that harvesting must be done manually in most cases leads to saffron's being exceptionally expensive.
