What the name for the flower/plant also known as "bride's bouquet"?

I've been reading LM Montgomery, where she refers to a garden flower (or possibly flowering shrub) as "bride's bouquet".





I can't find it on the Internet ... does anyone know what plant she means?





The novel was published during the 1930s.

What the name for the flower/plant also known as "bride's bouquet"?

Sorry for the scientific description it came out of my botanical book! Here's a link for a picture, scroll down to Convolvulaceae and find Porana: http://www.virtualherbarium.org/gl/famtm...





Hope this helps! (P.S. I've read the "Anne" and "Emily" books!) :)
Reply:I will agree with Baby's Breath. You can grow it from seed.
Reply:My guess is that it is some kind of spiraea. Bridal Wreath.
Reply:Try Pavetta lanceolata called the Brides Bush here in RSA .. Hope this helps.

Reply:I know 'baby's breath' is always in bouquets. it's small white flowers. maybe that's it. does it describe the flower at all?
Reply:Crassula hybrid 'Bride Bouquet' 'Polly's Pink' 'Spring Time' is part of this complex.


'Brides Bouquet' will have a rough sandpaper keel. (the underside of the leaf) and I believe Crassula rupestris is one of the parents, no parents named it is a Dick Wright hybrid.


All three came from the same heritage, and there is a slight difference.
