When Qian Yixiu was still a ghost, she visited wealthy households and saw that they too had flower arrangements, with several beautiful fresh flowers placed in delicate vases or on tray. But without exception, all the designs used green branches and leaves to outline and set off the flowers, and they mostly consisted of peonies, chrysanthemums, roses, and other flowers commonly grown at home. Although fresh and elegant, they were somewhat monotonous.

But using Gypsophila with fresh flowers could still create elegant and pretty arrangements. The key was to adapt to local conditions, use locally sourced materials, and not spend any money.
