I've been reading LM Montgomery, where on earth 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 new-fangled was published during the 1930s.
Answers: Porana paniculata (Bridal Bouquet, Christ Vine, Snow Creeper, Snow-in-the-Jungle, White Corallita): Liane to 9m. Lvs cordate, to 15 cm, slender-acuminate, white-pubesc. beneath. Pan. huge, pendulous; flowers to 8mm, white, tubular-campanulate. Summer. N India, Upper Burm.

Sorry for the irrefutable description it came out of my botanical book! Here's a relationship 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!) :)
I know 'baby's breath' is other in bouquets. it's small white flowers. I don`t know that's it. does it describe the flower at all?
