Botany / nome alternativo
Italian term or phrase: croco
Piú che altro un dubbio: sebbene sappia che lo zafferano é un croco, non vorrei tradurre con /azafrán/, perché ha connotazioni troppo culinarie e troppo poco letterarie (il contesto é quest´ultimo). É, purtroppo, l´unico termine che ho trovato sul dizionario per questa pianta, della quale si vuole esaltare la fioritura precoce dopo l´inverno. Grazie!

Son las típicas flores que salen poco después de que se retire la nieve en los prados de la montaña en la zona donde yo vivo...mi marido es botánico por si sirve de referencia adicional.
