A classic posy in shades of pink and red.

Your florist will create this round, posy-shaped arrangement in florist oasis foam which holds water. It is a traditional, but less formal style tribute than say a wreath, suitable for a funeral ceremony or commemoration. The flower stems are cut fairly short and inserted into the florist foam, holding them securely so the tribute retains is round shape for days to come.

Many varieties of flowers can be used, some of them known for lasting longer than others. They will often include oriental lilies, longi lilies, lizianthus, roses, chrysanthemums, bloom chrysanthemums, freesia, carnations, spray carnations, statice, wax flower, september flower, solidago, eryngium, hypericum berries, eucalyptus, ruscus, parviola, leather leaf, rosemary, mint and thyme. At Twig & Twine we like to include herbs in our designs, giving them a more cottage garden and natural appearance to the more formal foliages.
