Now, I don’t really know which flowers are in season, in which zones and which varieties. A florist I am not. But I’m pretty sure that in general, baby’s breath is pretty inexpensive, no matter the season or the zone or the variety.
You know baby’s breath – it’s the filler stuff the florist puts in your arrangement to make it look fuller than it actually is. It’s never been a favorite of mine, but now I’m having second thoughts.
As a bouquet or a boutonniere, where it’s execution is very deliberate, rather an a misguided afterthought, I love it.

Be careful of baby’s breath (also known as gypsophila). If it’s not fresh, it’ll shed like the dickens. I too am working my way through a list of inexpensive flowers. Luckily, I used to be a product manager at FTD, so I know where I can get a bang for my buck. Thing big, think cheap: football mums, gerbers, carnations, lisianthus (double lisi can look like a rose), hydrangea. All are big and not too expensive! Good luck!
