Chinese relative of the familiar baby's breath, with sprays of white flowers on upright stems, and elongated blue-green leaves. It's not very impressive in its first season of bloom (second year from seed), but some report that the flower show improves with age, so I'll keep it around for a while longer to see for myself.
