Potpourri went out of fashion for a long time and I am so
very glad it regained popularity some years back. Potpourri
was a medieval tradition revived by the Victorians, who used the symbolic
meanings and powers of flowers. Grow them in your kitchen garden or buy cut
flowers. Dry them; then place them in a pretty container. Choose flowers that
you are drawn to or connect with your personal energy.
Choose flowers that connect with your
astrological sign and personal energy from the following list:
