A woman harvests blue-and-purple flower petals of saffron in a field of the village of Krokos, near Kozani, north-west Greece on November 1, 2024. Beneath the beautiful flowers, which can fetch five to nine euros ($5.45-9.8) for a single gram, the earth is cracked and parched after uncommonly long periods of drought.
