Tropical Tidings

For an island-appropriate holiday theme, trade traditional poinsettias for tropical plants such as anthurium, heliconia, bird of paradise, and protea. Keep the blooms fresh by placing them in water-filled glass vases. For clean, sophisticated mantel-toppers, place green apples and Key limes inside cylindrical glass containers. Flowers, greenery, cylinders, and sconces available at floral stores.
