Yes, a small bunch of flowers is called a 'posy'. The word also may be spelled 'posey' or 'posie'. But it isn't the only word that may be used to refer to a small, attractively arranged and secured group of flowers. Other terms include 'bouquet', 'nosegay', and 'tussie-mussie'.

∙ 14y agoYes, small bunches of flowers may be called a 'posie'. The word tends to refer to one such bunch. Its plural form is 'posies', for more than one bunch.
But that isn't the only way in which the word is spelled. Other spellings include 'posys' and 'poseys'. Neither is it the only word that means 'small bunches of flowers'. Other terms include 'bouquets', 'nosegays', and 'tussie-mussies'.
