Bloomeria exhibits a low-growing, bulbous perennial habit with slender, grass-like leaves typically emerging in early spring. The plant proudly displays umbels of bright, star-shaped flowers atop stalks reaching 10 to 15 inches (25 to 38 cm) in height. Each flower flaunts six pointed tepals, radiating in colors that may range from vibrant yellow to orange-yellow. The foliage tends to wither shortly after the bloom period, emphasizing the floral display. Bloomeria 's striking flowers and compact form make it a distinguishable presence in its natural habitats.
