Hi, I love buying or getting as a gift a bouquet of flowers. I always enjoy when they put baby's breath in the group. Is baby's breath an actual flower? Is it alive or dried? Is it grown like a regular flower? Is it grown like a regular flower then dried or is it just the way it is? I've always wondered about this. Can anyone educate me on baby's breath? Thanks! Char :-)

Babies breath is an actual flower or plant. it gets it's name because when planted in a field it looks like a babies breath in the early morning when a breeze goes over it. It can be dried or used fresh. It is used as a filler in gardens as well as in fresh and dried bouquets.
