Somebody bought me a bunch of flowers for my birthday which contained lovely white flowers that look like pom poms, a sheepdog or a mop. I have tried looking online but not having much joy.

Does anybody know what these are called?

    Hi Barbara,

    It looks just like one of those shaggy white mops you clean the floor with.

    I wish I could help, but I am useless at flowers. Don't have a clue. Just love the smell of them.

    Yes I think this is it. Thank you girls. I hope you didn't have to trawl through
    page after page like I did?
