Overheard a customer say they'd never buy a bouquet with baby's breath again

I was at the wholesale market in Springfield last Tuesday, and a woman in line behind me was telling her friend, 'It just looks cheap and dusty to me now, I'm over it.' It made me pause, because I use it as a filler in probably 30% of my arrangements. I'm starting to wonder if it's becoming a dated trend, or if it's just a personal taste thing. Has anyone else noticed a shift in how customers feel about certain fillers?

Check your local market first.

My local market is a single sad cart of lemons next to the guy selling bootleg DVDs. Last week I saw a single zucchini priced like it was made of gold. I'm pretty sure the "local" part just means they found it in the alley behind the building. I'll stick to the big store where the tomatoes don't look so depressed.
