Characteristics of Baby's Breath
The small and dainty blooms of baby's breath make it a popular choice for event flowers. The scent of baby's breath is light and sweet, though it may not be a scent for everyone's tastes. The flowers are most commonly found in white, though they can also be found in tinted colors such as pink, blue, lavender, purple, terracotta, orange, and more. Baby's breath is a small flower, with each bloom being only about 1/2 inch in diameter. The flowers are clustered together on the stem, which can be anywhere from 6 inches to 2 feet in length.
