For Bayview Heights, a box arrangement travels best
Anna, qualified florist | on choosing flowers for a suburb that climbs the range
If you are choosing between a tall vase and a box for an address in Bayview Heights, take the box. The suburb climbs the side of the Lamb Range, and on the drive up, water slops out of a tall vase, soaks the wrap and wets the petals, while a top-heavy stem leans a little further at each corner. A box set in wet floral foam holds everything still, and it goes straight onto a bench with no vase to find.
A hand-tied bunch is still lovely here; it just wants a vase waiting at the other end. Either way, Cairns heat is hard on standing water, in a vase or in foam. It goes stagnant fast and the stems rot from the base where nobody sees it. Change vase water every couple of days, and for a box, draw the old water out with a turkey baster and top it up. I learned that after a week wondering why a box I had made smelled like a pond.
Flowers for Birthdays, Babies and Funerals in Bayview Heights
Orders into Bayview Heights tend to be family ones: a birthday, a new baby, a burial at Forest View next door in Mount Sheridan. Some need no reason at all, and our just because flowers cover those.
Birthday Flowers for a House That Faces the Bay
The birthday is at a house up the hill, maybe a fortieth, and you are a long way from the table. Our best-selling birthday flowers are the quick answer. Put a mobile in the notes. If nobody answers, in our experience the driver rings rather than leaving flowers on a hot step.
I learned about hills the wet way. Winter 2007, a tall vase of oriental lilies up a driveway near the top of Bilambil Heights, above Tweed Heads. Half the water ended up in my shoes. The birthday girl laughed so hard she forgot to open the card.
Anna's call: the window with the view is the worst spot for a vase. Sun through glass fades reds to pink inside a couple of days. Keep the vase a room back from it and the colour holds.
Is the Baby Still at Cairns Hospital?
The photo came through on the family chat and you are nowhere near Cairns. Still in? Put Cairns Hospital and the ward in the notes for flowers to the hospital. In our experience the ward desk takes them in, which is how it worked when Siobhan and I carried them into Tweed Hospital and John Flynn ourselves. Home already? The house is simpler. For the card: "Welcome, little one. Can't wait for a cuddle."
Oriental lilies and stock are glorious in a big room, and a maternity room is not a big room. Soft roses or lisianthus give the colour without the scent, and new baby flowers in a box need no vase.
Funeral Flowers Go Through the Director
Someone has died and you are sorting flowers from wherever you are. Flowers are small against a death, and families still notice every one. For a burial at Forest View Cemetery on Foster Road, Mount Sheridan, the funeral tribute usually goes through the funeral director, so put their name and the service time in the notes. Siobhan and I carried sprays into Tweed cemeteries from 2006 to 2009, and the smooth ones always had that name on the order. On the card, "Thinking of you all" is enough.
Anna, on what sits flat at a graveside
A tall vase tips on grass. A wreath or a sheath lies flat and stays put, and in Cairns heat, chrysanthemum and carnation hold through a long day outdoors.
Half the Orders We Get Have No Heading
No birthday, no baby, nothing on the calendar. You just want something in Bayview Heights today, and our daisies are a good place to start.
Go with daisy chrysanthemums. In a warm Cairns lounge room they last a week and more, and they couldn't care less about the fruit bowl. Carnations and waxflower do better in a different room from the bananas.
Other ways to choose
Before 2pm on a weekday, today's order still makes this afternoon's run.
Shop Flower ArrangementsSame-Day Cutoffs and Three Things for the Notes
When to order
2pm weekdays for same day, which gives the florist the afternoon to build it and drive it up. 10am Saturday, when the runs finish early.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
What the notes need
The street number and a mobile. Anything about the driveway: steep, shared, a gate, a dog. The ward for a hospital, the funeral director for a service.
Who takes it in
Whoever answers at a house. At Cairns Hospital, in our experience, the ward desk. Order before 2pm and it is with them this afternoon.

The Afternoon After You Order
The confirmation comes by email. Our partner florist in Cairns builds the order that day and delivers it. If anything looks wrong, ring our team on 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm weekdays and from 10am Saturday, or email [email protected] with a photo the same day. We fix it.
Siobhan, on the address that is nearly right
When I was on the phones, from 2006 until just before Ivy arrived in 2011, the orders that went wrong were hardly ever the flowers. It was a unit number left off, or a mobile nobody picked up (that one drove me mad). And if they don't ring you straight away, that's normal. People ring once the flowers are in water, sometimes the next day.
If you just want to know it landed, ring us and our team will check.
