Springstars or spring startflowers (Ipheion uniflorum) are native to Argentina, coming to Japan during the Meiji era (1868-1912). The plant produces flowers ranging from white to purple in spring. Its Japanese name is "hananira," translating into "flower Chinese chives" due to its smell. No worries though. It doesn't smell unless the leaves are ripped or torn. The plant is toxic however.
