I can't quite find the post (I read a lot of blogs throughout the web). Basically, the guy took a bunch of Baby's Breath (very small flowers) and stuck them in front of the lens to get a really cool dreamy effect where parts of the shot were clearly blurry. It was pretty cool...and I certainly want to experiment with it. I saw a fun use of that technique in a way similar to the way you describe recently.
