Ohh I'm definitely going to. I've never cared for saffron, but perhaps I've never had real saffron. Like I say I'm a bit of a flower connoisseur, and I haven't tasted many thistle family that were very pleasant. But I also haven't tried a safflower flower. The flavour of flowers though is often similar to the rest of the plant which is why the similarity is questionable to me.

Pic related delicious trout lily.

To be fair, freshly harvested and dried would probably taste very different from even real saffron from a store.

Broadly yes but there are different cultivars, some produce much bigger leavs than others. I feel you on the ramps. We don't have ramps in my area but there are patches of trout lily that I've harvested a few out of from time to time and they're so delicious. Tons of wild chive though which is nice.
