No matter how many admiration epithets you choose, it is still impossible to fully describe all the charm of the Gypsophila flower – Gypsophila (lat.).
The triumphal march of this modest-looking plant in the floristic arena can be compared to the story of Cinderella: a wild field or mountain bush, preferring loamy soil mixed with lime, today has become both an adornment for many holiday bouquets of different types of flowers and a luxurious mono-bouquet. A bouquet of gypsophila is a microcosm, a small fairy-tale universe in a fabric package, a hat box, or a basket.
In this article, we will examine this unique flower, which has more than 150 varieties.
Gypsophila: live and dried flowers
Some flowers are destined to impress and delight for a brief moment in bouquets, and some flowers are destined to shine both in fresh compositions and in the form of perfectly preserved dried flowers. Gypsophila belongs to just such a happy family. In a fresh mixed bouquet, gypsophila will last the longest of all flowers, maybe more than three weeks. It can then be separated from the wilted bouquet, dried slightly, and placed again in a vase or stylish bottle in the living room or bedroom.
Since gypsophila flowers are practically odorless, there are no contraindications to keeping them at home. Completely unobtrusive and organically, dry gypsophila will take its place in your interior, adding an artistic atmosphere to it.
Florists successfully paint dry gypsophila in a variety of colors – blue, lilac, and deep pink – although gypsophila flowers in nature are usually white or soft pink. Combining different shades of gypsophila in one bouquet evokes delight in both the giver and the recipient.
About symbolism and use
Let’s not talk much about the fact that gypsophila is called “bridal veil” or “baby’s breath” – there is enough information about this in other sources. Let’s just say that, indeed, the tenderness and meekness of small “star” clusters of gypsophila on thin, graceful stems with leaves set one in a benevolent mood. These flowers revive the memory of pleasant moments of light romantic stories and captivate the imagination of other worlds that are mysterious and beautiful.
Gypsophila is associated with innocence and true love — it is no coincidence that the very name of the flower contains the word “love” - “Phila.” Therefore, it is quite natural that this flower is actively used in the “single-race” in creating a bridal bouquet, as well as in an ideal combination with roses, chrysanthemums, peonies, or carnations.
The purity and high spirituality attributed to gypsophila make it popular for decorating religious ceremonial events. In the cultural context of Asia, the simplicity and elegance of Gypsophila finds its way into Zen gardens and ikebana gardens.
