<i>Spiraea thunbergii</i> (common names : baby's breath spirea, Thunberg spirea; Japanese common name : yuki-yanagi) is a small, long-lived <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrub" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Shrub">shrub</a> with thin, flexible stems.
