Beautiful bloom o' the day: looks sprinkled in fairy dust.

Terri, I would define fillers as not-so-significant foliage or small blooms that fill out a bouquet between the main focal flowers. Examples would be threadleaf coreopsis, asters, mums (unless they're those gigantic main-event mums) boltonia, baby's breath etc etc.

Here is a photo of artemesia lactiflora ghizou and let's just call it 'artemesia' for short! I like it much better than baby's breath: great stems with the bonus of burgundy color, durable blooms that hold up much better than baby's breath for me.
The low growing maroony/green foliage and stalks- sorry about the slug bites!
