mostly reds

 A party in January with predominantly red tones: gerberas, snapdragons, roses, hypericum berries - available all year around and all stand in great complement to one another. Anemonies are a less obvious choice and more expensive, but add and unexpected touch and reward the hostess and guests with a lovely surprise once the flowers begin to unravel their petals and reveal their full glory. Tulips - never a miss this time of year. They love the cold. Cyclamen foliage - intricate, almost perfectly round, a great choice for hiding the stems inside the vase.
