For supper at someone’s home you could bring red roses with a card recalling his poem A Red, Red Rose. It is an idea for bringing flowers and poetry together. For a table arrangement choose a low design that leaves room to serve and talk.",[13,18,23],{"title":14,"paragraphs":15},"25 January and the date of your supper",[16,17],"The date marks Robert Burns’ birthday.

We are sharing serving dishes and want the flowers to take up little space.” Add the usable table dimensions and your budget.
