Sarah Perry

Etymology:

posy

noun

Meaning flower, bouquet. In 1533, a motto or line of poetry engraved within a ring; variant of poesy. The meaning of a flower/bouquet is first recorded in 1573, and was thought to come from the use of flowers to express sentiments like those engraved in rings.

I love hearing from people and I'm pretty generous with my time.
