baby's breath
Wispy white flowers
Baby's breath is a plant with clusters of tiny, delicate white or pink flowers, most familiar as filler in floral arrangements where it adds airy volume around larger blooms.
The name captures how light and wispy the flower clusters appear.
Florists use it extensively in wedding bouquets and centerpieces.
The roses were surrounded by baby's breath.
In gardens, it grows as a low mounding perennial with clouds of small blossoms.
