Are there any introductory tutorials (books, web sites, magazine
articles, etc.) that will provide a good introduction to using the
Florist POSIX packages?

I have the book "Interprocess Communications in Unix: the Nooks and
Crannies" by John Shapley Gray. It is written for C programmers; All
of the examples are in C, and it is assumed that the exercises will be
done in C.

I thought that it would be a  worthwhile exercise to do this in Ada,
using the Florist packages to bury the C-isms, so that the examples
and exercises could be done in good Ada style.
