A small bunch of flowers
Posy originated as a diminutive of Josephine, but it is primarily recognized as a charming English vocabulary name referring to a small bouquet of flowers. In the Victorian era, 'posies' were often given as tokens of affection, carrying specific meanings through the language of flowers. It remains a rare, whimsical choice that feels both vintage and fresh.
