I made this and the turmeric plants for the Silk Road hunt. This is a plant that would have been transported along the silk road. Maybe transplanted to greenhouses or even gardens in the right climate.
Saffron crocus (Crocus sativus)
The stigmas of the saffron crocus are used to make saffron - the most valuable spice in the world. Each flower only produces up to 3 stigmas in the center of the flower over a very short season - sometimes only 2 weeks. Cultivated since the bronze age as a dye, medicine and spice, saffron has always been ludicrously expensive, even during its use in the Minoan culture, where the same weights used to measure gold were used for saffron. The reason for the expense is the labor-intensive nature of the production process
The flowers have the striking red stigma in the center - so prized for making saffron. Each map & custom texture makes a 1 prim crocus plant - 1 with two flowers, 1 with a flower, bud and leaves.
They look great combined, potted or in a garden. You can put them in your greenhouse or landscape - as cultivars from the very roots of human civilization, along with the romance of the Silk Road.
The included full perm sculpt maps and textures enable you to make two 1 prim saffron crocus plants. No-trans example sculpt included.
This is available for viewing at my shop.
Size and texture for your custom builds and landscapes. These are full perm sculpt maps and textures for builders use to apply to your own creations.
PERMISSIONS:
My textures and sculpt maps are sold with full permissions, and are meant to be used in your creations. Consider the creations that incorporate my textures to be free to sell or give away as you wish - they are your objects and you should enjoy the fruits of your labor.
However, please do not resell these textures or maps themselves, nor give the textures away, neither in SL nor outside of it. A lot of work and care went into each texture or sculpt and I ask that you respect my right as a creator, as you expect others to respect yours. For that reason do not pass out the items created with my textures and sculpts with full permission.
Available in my shop as well, along with many other sculpts and textures. I do have a number of herb and edible plant textures as well
Feel free to drop a notecard to Sea Warcliffe in-world if you have any questions or suggestions.
To use the included sculpt maps (which will look like textures in your inventory, and will be clear if you double click on them):
Q. How do I create a Sculpted Prim from a texture?
* First create a regular prim (any type). Then edit it, and in the object tab change the prim type to sculpted. You'll then be able to select the sculpt texture on that tab. The "Texture" tab will allow you to change the surface texture.
