A nosegay, posey, flower bouquet or tussie-mussie is a small bunch of flowers, typically given as a gift. They have existed in some form since at least mediaeval times, when they were worn around the head or on the lapel to mask the unpleasant smells of the time - literally, to keep the nose gay (happy). In their current form, they rose to popularity during the reign of Queen Victoria, from 1837 onwards, at which time the tussie-mussie became a popular fashion accessory.
