The bizarre Ferraria crispa – the “Starfish Iris” – looks like it crawled out of the sea! This rare Iris relative from South Africa has beautifully intricate blooms with frilly edges, like a psychedelic throw-pillow from the 1960s. As if that weren’t enough, the blooms have a wonderful sweet scent!  Despite its exotic look, it happens to be easy to grow. Mature bulbs are rarely seen for sale. https://www.strangewonderfulthings.com
