Miyuki MiyabeのCrossfireを読んでいます。
Over by the opposite wall were arrangements of red rosebuds and baby's breath on glass tables set in front of two large couches. Overlooking the couches was a mural--a tile mosaic of a gondola in a Venitian canal.
"baby's breath" は何かの植物名の様ですが何でしょう?
・Oxford English Dictionary: A herbaceous plant of delicate appearance which bears tiny scented pink or white flowers.: Flowers like orchids, baby's breath, roses and gardenia are available no matter what time of the year.
・Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary: gypsophila; especially : a perennial herb (Gypsophila paniculata) or an annual herb (G. elegans) commonly used in floral arrangements
(defined for kids) a tall branching herb that is related to the carnation, has clusters of small fragrant white or pink flowers, and is often used in flower arrangements
カスミソウを連想しますが、ピンクのカスミソウは見たことがありません。"baby's breath picture"でGoogle検索をすると花の写真がでてきますが、カスミソウの様でもあり、違う花の様でもあります。それにしても "baby's breath" とはしゃれた名前ですね。
