Where a bunch lasts longest in an Ashfield unit
Anna, qualified florist | on what a split system does to a vase
In an Ashfield unit the vase usually shares a room with a split system, and the dry air it blows is what a bunch struggles with most. Air conditioning drags the humidity down to thirty to fifty-five percent, petals lose water faster than the stem can send it up, and the thin ones, freesia and hydrangea, dry from the edges in.
Carnations barely notice the dry air; their petals are tough and waxy. Gerberas do well kept out of the draft, because dry air is what bends a hollow stem at the neck. Put the vase where the vent can't reach and fill it deeper than feels right. I learnt how fast a dry room drains water at the florist at Salt, in Kingscliff, where the air conditioning ran all summer and the buckets on the counter needed topping up before lunch.
Same-Day Birthday, Sympathy and Get-Well Flowers Across Ashfield
Birthday, sympathy and get-well flowers all go out same day across Ashfield 2131, from the units by the station to the houses out toward Haberfield. A small birthday gesture lands as well as a big one: three wrapped red roses, or a single wrapped rose, from our roses range.
If the Birthday Flowers Are Going to a Unit
Birthday flowers here usually go to a unit, off Liverpool Road or up near the station, so put the unit number and the name on the intercom in the notes. I learnt that in 2008 in the lobby of Q1 at Surfers Paradise, holding a birthday bunch with no unit number and seventy-odd floors to choose from. The concierge took pity on me. For a mate, start with our birthday flowers for a friend; for anyone else, our best-selling birthday flowers.
Anna, on lilies in a small flat
In a small flat the vase is never far from the couch, so pinch the anthers off as each lily opens. Dry pollen bonds to fabric; if some lands, lift it off with sticky tape.
Keep Every Red Stem Out of a Chinese Family's Sympathy Flowers
A funeral notice here could mean a Requiem Mass at St Vincent's on Bland Street, or a Chinese family's service at a funeral home, often held within a few days of the death. For a Chinese family, keep it white, or white and yellow, with not one red stem, because red is the colour of celebration. Our white sympathy flowers suit almost every tradition, and our wreaths and sheaths, the White Lily & Rose Sheath among them, suit the service itself.
Card ideas: Thinking of you all, with love. Or: With deepest sympathy to the family.
White lilies open bud by bud, so a sympathy bunch built on them keeps opening new flowers at the family's home for a week or more.
Concord Hospital, the Ward Desk and a Get-Well Bunch
Someone from Ashfield in hospital is often at Concord, or at RPA in Camperdown. Put the ward name in the notes; in our experience the flowers go to the ward desk and the staff take them through. If they're going home tomorrow, send the flowers there instead. Our get well flowers suit either address, and our hospital flowers are chosen for a ward.
Card idea: Get well soon. The couch misses you.
Anna's call: leave the scented oriental lily for home; in a shared room, the next bed didn't ask for it. And go boxed if you can. Nobody on a ward has a spare vase, and the box is the vase.
Nothing Above Quite Fits?
Plenty of orders fit none of the above: a housewarming in a new flat, a thank-you to the neighbour who fed the cat, a just-because. Anna has a short answer for those.
Florist's Choice. Back on the bench at Salt it was the order I liked getting most, because I could build it from whatever came in strongest that morning. One thing matters in Ashfield: if it's going to a Chinese household for a happy occasion, write "no chrysanthemums" in the notes. In a Chinese home they're a funeral flower.
More ways to shop
The Australian Natives Bunch has been our bestseller since 2013. Order before 2pm on a weekday and it's in Ashfield this afternoon.
Shop Native FlowersTwo Cutoffs, a Unit Number and the Same-Day Run
The cutoffs
2pm weekdays, which gives the florist time to make your order and get it on the afternoon run.
10am Saturday, because Saturday is a shorter trading day.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
What the notes need
For any block, the unit number and the name on the intercom. For Bupa Ashfield on Frederick Street or Uniting Quong Tart on Arthur Street, the resident's full name and room. For Concord Hospital, the ward.
Who takes it
At an aged-care home, reception staff tend to sign for the flowers and take them to the room. For a service at St Vincent's or St John's Anglican on Alt Street, put the service time in the notes and the florist aims to have the flowers there before the family arrives. Order before the cutoff and it goes on today's run.
The Order's In and the Phone Is Quiet
Here is what happens next. The order goes to one of our partner florists near Ashfield, who makes it and delivers it on the day you chose. If anything isn't right, call our team on 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm weekdays and from 10am Saturday, or email [email protected], and they'll ask the florist for a photo the same day so you can see what arrived.
Ashfield isn't new to us. In 2007 and 2008, when we were still just the flower and gift shop on Marine Parade in Kingscliff, it was one of our ten busiest delivery areas in the country, and a florist in Parramatta made every Sydney order we had from 2007 to 2013.
Siobhan, who has heard every story about Andrew's two mates from Ashfield
If the person you sent them to goes quiet, that's normal, it really is. People don't always ring to say the flowers came, especially when they're the one who's had the hard week, so give it a day. You'll check your phone anyway. I always did. The problem I heard most on the phones, back in the shop days, was a buzzer with somebody else's name on it (a flatmate, the landlord, the tenant before last), so pop the recipient's mobile in the notes too.
From here, the rest is our job.
