THE GRACEFUL ART OF SPEAKING THROUGH FLOWERS

Originally called "talking bouquets" and "word posies," tussie-mussies are sweet-smelling and symbolic flower arrangements that Victorians exchanged in lieu of written greetings. Today Geraldine Laufer, a floral poet, revives the art of tussie-mussies and shows how to make them in this full-color celebration of craft, lore, and language. Step by step, Tussie-Mussies covers the delightful task of crafting individual flowers and herbs into a message, from how to cut flowers and greens to finishing the handle and creating the holder. Then Ms. Laufer shares sixty of her favorite tussie-mussies.

Declare ardent love. Say happy birthday. Welcome a newborn. Mark an anniversary. Honor a mentor. Send consolations--the flowers say it all.
