Milla biflora, Cav. Scape 6-18 in. high from a small coated bulb, bearing 1-5 (usually 2) star-like, waxy white, fragrant fls. 2-2 V6 in. across, with oblong-lanceolate segms.: lvs. rough, nearly terete. S. Ariz, and New Mex. to Cent. Mex. B.R. 1555. F.S. 14:1459. Gn. 24, p. 155. J.H. III. 55:133. G. 6:271.—One of the best of the small bulbs. It is known as Mexican star, Mexican star of Bethlehem, frost flower, and floating star. The fls. are of a charming waxy consistence, and are borne on long sts. They are excellent for cutting, and last several days. Planted in the border early in spring, they soon throw up their fls. and lvs. They should be allowed to remain until Sept. or Oct., when they may be taken up and stored for the winter. Our gardeners know milla mostly as a pot bulb for flowering under glass late in winter or early in spring. It blooms readily in the conditions given to freesias. Several bulbs should be placed in a pot, although a number of stalks will spring from one bulb. The plant is little offered by dealers.
