Saffron crocus

Just seen an advert for a saffron crocus from Suttons: "Grown the most expensive spice in the world".

Tempted to get a pretty flower that provides something edible, especially as it seems you don't destroy the flower harvesting the saffron.

However, I thought you needed lots and lots of crocus to get very little saffron - how much 30 saffron would 30 crocus bulbs produce?  I where do I have room for them?!
