Statuesque arrangements of seasonal blooms are striking on a table, mantel, or buffet. Cluster fistfuls of stems of amaryllis, alstroemeria, and paperwhite narcissus, and wrap them tightly together with gold twine. Stand them in tall, slender metal vases filled with water. Pack in moss to anchor the stems, and then top the moss with key limes, crabapples, and seeded eucalyptus blooms for a colorful final touch.

In the grocery store floral aisle, look for amaryllis and paperwhites in pots, and alstroemeria in bouquets.
