Bells of Ireland has green bracts which surround rather inconspicuous flowers. The 1- to 2-inch, white-veined green bells are not really flowers but enlarged calyxes--the outer leaves that appear at the base of most flowers; the true flowers, tiny, fragrant and white, are deep within the bells. The popular names alluding to Ireland have been applied to this plant only because of the green color of the bells, not because the plant comes from Ireland; it is native to the eastern Mediterranean region.
