posy
Petite flower cluster
A posy is a small bunch of flowers, typically arranged to be held in one hand or worn: She carried a posy of violets.
The word is somewhat old-fashioned and suggests something dainty or sentimental.
Posy once also meant a short verse or motto, especially one inscribed inside a ring—a sense now largely forgotten.
