Has anyone heard of a flower called genestra?

I'm trying to find the proper spelling, so I can find photos online. They're supposed to be clusters of tiny white blossoms attached to long, thin stems.

Has anyone heard of a flower called genestra?
The wholesale florists spell this - ginestra; with the letter g pronounced as "j". We retail florists commonly use the pink or the white variety of this filler flower in bridal bouquets, more expensive high style arrangements, or european style arrangements.


Here's another link to a picture of the white ginestra:

Reply:I think you mean Genista. Genista is the genus and there are about 90 species, most of the tolerant of Zone 7-9 conditions. A few are hardier. Common name = broom.





Remember the Plantagenets of England? The first Plantagenet got his name from the Latin Planta Genista, because he wore a spring of broom in his hat.





Historical trivia....

Reply:I found some stuff for you...with the spelling "ginestra". It can be several different colors, but you are correct in that the natural color is white.





You can see pictures in some of the links below. The kind I think you want are the ones used for bouquet fillers, correct? There are also some yellow wildflowers by the same name, and there is a picture of that kind as the second link.





I hope this is what you want...they are really pretty! :)
