Gypsophila, also known as babys breath, is a genus of flowering plants in the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae. They are native to Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and the Pacific Islands, and Turkey has a particularly high diversity of Gypsophila taxa, with about 35 endemic species. The genus comprises approximately 150 species of annual or perennial herbaceous, creeping or cushion-forming plants, inhabiting primarily the mountainous steppes in the north temperate part of the Old World with a diversification hotspot in the Irano-Turanian region. Gypsophila flowers are much loved by flower arrangers because they combine well with pretty much any flower, and they are a favorite in bridal bouquets. Some popular varieties of Gypsophila include Gypsophila paniculata Snowflake, Gypsophila paniculata Bristol Fairy, Gypsophila Rosenscheier, Gypsophila elegans Covent Garden, and Gypsophila cerastiodes (mouse-eared gypsophila). Gypsophila is one of the most widely used fillers among floral creatives, especially in wedding designs. In the language of flowers, Gypsophila represents purity, innocence, and everlasting love.
