Source of saffron (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crocus

(Other definitions for crocus that I've seen before include "Plant from a corm" , "Early flowering bulb" , "Bulbous plant with brilliant coloured flowers" , "'Spring flower, source of saffron (6)'" , "Spring bulb" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
