A genus of flowering plants native to Mexico and the southwestern United States, with star-shaped white flowers.
Named after Juan Carlos Milla y Fontana, a Spanish botanist from the 18th century, using the Latinized naming convention for plant genera.
Milla biflora, also called 'Mexican star', is beloved by gardeners because it produces delicate white flowers all summer long and is nearly impossible to kill—it's basically the plant version of a reliable friend.
