Stellate is the term which describes a flower whose shape resembles that of a star.

Specifically, the word functions as an adjective. It originates in the Latin word stellatus for "covered with stars". Its meaning will include "star-shaped" in regard to objects (such as flowers) and "star-spangled" in other contexts.
