Thanks Jessie for suggesting Hibiscus? Hmmm. Let me do some research on that. I know it's native to Hawaii, I've seen it as a potted plant, but never as a cut flower here in NY. Stopped by your blog, Mix and Chic.

Mimi,
Love your blog. I have a shop on the other side of the county. We used red bouvardia this VD. I also like red Nirene, not in season now. There are other red orchids, too - red cymbidium, for example. I would have chosen a burgandy peony and sumatra lily - both are more red than pink.

I'm working on a wedding estimate and my mind was blank...had most of the red flowers on your list, but not all! How about red dahlias & red matsumoto asters?? Thanks for your help!

Love this post, Mimi! My mom is a florist and I always loved going to her store during my childhood. I remember telling her gladiolas were my favorite. Those and Fuji mums :).

Amy, thanks so much for your comment. I came to a lot later than you did, but I think my favorite red flower has to be the amaryllis.

Ellen, thanks so much for reminding me about red protea. We use them in our floral design quite a bit actually. I truly appreciate your comment.
