Inspired by the Victorian-era language of flowers[Comma] a posy is a small[Comma] round bouquet of flowers[Comma] herbs[Comma] and plants meant to convey a message[Comma] such as dahlias for gratitude[Comma] sunflowers for adoration[Comma] or thyme for bravery. These floral poems have become Teresa Sabankaya’s signature. Brides want them for their weddings[Comma] but a posy is a lovely gift any time of year[Comma] and one that readers can easily put together from their garden or with blooms from their local florist. In The Posy Book[Comma] Sabankaya shares step-by-step instructions[Comma] floral recipes for more than 20 posies[Comma] and ideas for seasonal variations. A modern floral dictionary[Comma] with 12 original paintings by celebrated illustrator Maryjo Koch[Comma] will help readers craft their own posies filled with personal meaning.Details: Hardcover[Comma] 256 Pages
