“Like a favorite recipe, a posy is meant to be savored and shared. Try it yourself, and … welcome a bit of floral enchantment into your life.” —Amy Stewart, author of The Drunken Botanist Inspired by the Victorian-era language of flowers, a posy is a small, round bouquet of flowers, herbs, and plants meant to convey a message, such as dahlias for gratitude, sunflowers for adoration, or thyme for bravery. These floral poems have become Teresa Sabankaya’s signature. Brides want them for their weddings, but a posy is a lovely gift any time of year, and one that readers can easily put together from their garden or with blooms from their local florist. In The Posy Book, Sabankaya shares step-by-step instructions, floral recipes for more than 20 posies, and ideas for seasonal variations. A modern floral dictionary, with 12 original paintings by celebrated illustrator Maryjo Koch, will help readers craft their own posies filled with personal meaning.

The wedding bouquet symbolizes a hope: that love will sail into the life of the person who catches it. For four guests at Abby's wedding, though, love is the last thing they're looking for. Isn't it ironic, then, that when a whirling ceiling fan disintegrates the carefully crafted nosegay, its pieces fly beyond the crowd of husband-hungry women -and parts end up in the hands of these four hardened observers? See if the bouquet/romance tradition holds true for... Felicity, the love-worn florist who's horrified to see newspaper photos of her bouquet going to pieces. Konnie, the brokenhearted widow who's determined never to let love bloom in her life again. Rosie, the caterer whose dreams are crushed flatter than her wedding cake, destroyed by a clumsy groomsman. Geoff, who quickly hands his flowers to an admiring little girl - and to her big sister, whose love for him is anything but childish. Can God use fragmented flowers to plant seeds of love in fallow hearts? Can He create a bouquet of love from the chaos in these four lives?
