Iridaceous yellow or purple flower (6)

I believe the answer is:

crocus

(Other definitions for crocus that I've seen before include "Plant from a corm" , "Small pretty spring flower, yellow or white" , "'Spring flower, source of saffron (6)'" , "Early flowering bulb" , "Bloomer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
