TUSSIE MUSSIE

.
To make a small nosegay, start with a bunch of filler material such as leaves and vines. Poke flower stems into the bunch, working carefully so as not to damage the fragile stems. Then add more of the greenery to the outside and wire the stems together tightly at the base of the foliage. Tie a ribbon over the wire.

This tussie mussie is made up of purple sage, green sage, salvia discolor, pale heliotrope, verbena rigida, sea lavender and latifolium.
