People worldwide recognise the delicate beauty of the Baby’s Breath flower, but only a few know of its significance. Let us explore the history and meanings behind this tiny floral wonder so that you can decide if you should get a bouquet as a gift.
According to many, it earned its English name from its unique aroma; similar to that of a newborn baby’s breath after drinking milk. However, it is important to note that the Baby’s Breath flower originates from various regions like Asia, Europe, Australia, and Africa, so people have different names for it. In China, they call Baby’s Breath “满天星” (mǎn tiān xīng, meaning: a sky full of stars). This is because it is usually dotted with multitudes of mini blossoms, thus resembling a cluster of a million stars.
The botanical term for Baby’s Breath is Gypsophila paniculata, which loosely translates to “a lover of chalk with a cluster of loosely branched flowers”. The name refers to the type of soil that promotes its growth: sweet, alkaline soil thickened by rich amounts of gypsum minerals.
As expressed by many, the Baby’s Breath delivers a type of vintage and/or classic vibe. This is partly due to their presence and roots in the 19th century, otherwise commonly known as the Victorian era.
During this period, flowers were very popular among the Victorians, as they often communicated by sending bouquets to one another. This was how the long-standing tradition of flower-gifting, and floriography came about, too! When it came to romance, lovers would send their partners a bouquet of Baby’s Breath; in hopes to renew their silent vows of everlasting love.
Since then, Baby’s Breath has been among the top few flowers to get snapped up in seconds at the florist’s on Valentine’s Day. And as mentioned, even though this species originates from a few continents, since its rise in demand, it can now be found in several countries, including Peru and the United States.
*floriography: the floral language conveyed through giving different types of flowers of various colours, types and sizes.
Wordsmiths, bujo (bullet journalling), letter and handicraft enthusiasts, rejoice as this flower can spruce up your works!
For example, while penning letters, crafting cards or journalling, you can attach Baby’s Breath to certain parts of your narrative. This works especially well for meaningful and memorable moments. However, it is best to use dried Baby’s Breath for your creative needs as it sustains better than fresh ones.
Despite its seemingly uncomely appearance, Baby’s Breath actually conveys a thousand meanings. Its symbolism is closely linked to the shared camaraderie from romantic and platonic relationships in different stages of life; from beginning to end.
The Baby’s Breath also represents several qualities: sincerity, innocence, compassion, fresh beginnings, loyalty and even self-discipline.
