my favourite flowers


Common name: Baby's Breathe
Scientific Name: Gypsophila Paniculata Bristol Fairy

Why are they my favourite?
Gypsophilas are flower sprays and they really adorn any arrangements. Without them, roses will never stand out.

Baby's breath is indeed nice. They are rather costly too if you buy the really nice white ones. Imported. :)

Yes, they are costly. Baby's breathe costs about $20 for 5 stocks at the wholesaler. Just bought some last week, but they don't really last. I tried to dry them, but the dried ones are not as nice.

They grow brown don't they? I don'treally like dried flowers, but potpourri is sometimes nice.

Yes they turn brown. Forget-me-nots retain the colour very well when dried. I have some bright yellow ones at home that lasted for months already after I dried them.
