These have nothing that I know of to do with either spiders nor warts. They are also known as wild crocus.
I ccannot find anything in any of my books that says they are edible, but who would want to eat such a lovely thing?
They range from short, around 8 inches to tall , around 3 feet, and come in varied colors 
. The season for these blooms is rapidly coming to an end in my area.
I thought you might like to see them, and perhaps look out for them along the roadside or waste areas, where you live.

I’ve always thought they were so pretty-but never managed to get them to grow at my place.
I transpanted some from my parents place. They seem to be doing well, those were the ones pictured. My dad has several different ones.
