On the bay side, the front step ages a bunch faster than the weather

Anna, qualified florist | on salt air and the front step

What ages a bunch fastest on the bay side of Beaumaris is the front step. When the afternoon breeze comes in off Port Phillip, it carries a fine salt over the cliffs at Ricketts Point and settles it on anything left out along Beach Road. Salt draws water out of a petal, so the thin ones go papery at the edge inside a couple of days. Waxy surfaces like leucadendron and waxflower shrug it off.

Indoors, none of that matters. Roses and lisianthus do beautifully in a front room a few streets back, out of the breeze. I learned the difference working at Salt, in Kingscliff, where the sea air sat on everything. The move that counts here is getting the flowers through the door and into water. The stem can be whatever they love.

Notes for Beaumaris, and for Just Over the Line

Four places Beaumaris flowers go, and the line each one needs

Copy the line that matches your address into the notes at checkout.

  1. A Beaumaris house

    Most homes here are houses set behind a garden. Say where the number is, and where to leave the flowers out of the breeze if nobody answers.

  2. Sandringham Hospital

    On Bluff Road. The patient's full name and the ward. For a new mum, her name and the maternity ward.

  3. Tobin Brothers, Cheltenham

    The chapel on Park Road. The service time and the family name.

  4. Cheltenham Memorial Park

    The main entrance is off Reserve Road. The section and the name on the plot, if you have them.

Notes ready? See our best-selling birthday flowers

Three of these four addresses sit outside the Beaumaris postcode, and the line in the notes is what gets each one to the right person.

Birthdays, Babies and the Services Next Door

Most flowers into Beaumaris go to a house for a birthday, with thank-you flowers for the teachers on Reserve Road and Dalgetty Road at the end of the year. The hospital and the chapel on Park Road are a suburb away.

Round Numbers at the Family Home

She is turning seventy or eighty, the family is driving down for lunch, and you are ordering from somewhere else. The 2021 census put 22.4 per cent of Beaumaris over sixty-five, so round numbers come up here a lot.

Send the flowers the day before or early that morning. In the shop years I delivered an eightieth-birthday arrangement in Casuarina a day early, and she kept it in the fridge overnight so it would be perfect for the party. It was. Our 70th birthday flowers suit a table that will be full by noon.

Keep a red arrangement off the west-facing windowsill. Afternoon sun breaks down the red pigment and it pinks out in two days. A hallway table out of the light holds the colour.

Send the Baby Flowers to Mum’s Room

The photo and the name have come through on your phone, and you are a long way from Bluff Road. Sandringham Hospital has a maternity ward and a special care nursery, and the flowers belong with Mum.

Write her full name and the maternity ward. In our experience a special care nursery takes no flowers at all, so even if the baby is in there, the flowers go to her room. Our new baby flowers come in soft colours, and a card can read “Welcome to the world. Sleep when you can.”

Anna, on going home in the car

A boxed arrangement holds its own water in the foam and rides home on Mum’s lap. Nobody on a maternity ward has a spare vase.

Services on Park Road in Cheltenham

Someone from Beaumaris has died and the service is at Tobin Brothers on Park Road in Cheltenham. Close to half of Beaumaris marks no religion on the census, so plenty of services here are celebrations of life. Flowers will not change what has happened, and the family will still read every card.

For the chapel, put the service time and the family name in the notes, and the florist aims to arrive before the seventy-five seats start filling. Our funeral flowers suit the service and sympathy flowers for the home the weeks after. “Thinking of you all. What a life.” is enough on the card.

Anna has a view on colour. A celebration of life need not be white. Their favourite colour, or whatever grew in their garden, says more about them than a white lily can.

An Order With No Occasion Attached

Not every order has a name. A neighbour back from hospital, a friend who has had a rough month, a new job. You do not need a category to send flowers.

Anna's pick: our native flowers. Banksia, leucadendron and waxflower suit a bayside house, and leucadendron can go three weeks or more in a cool room with clean water. Split the woody stems at the base so they can drink.

Ordered the day before, it is on the table before anyone sits down to lunch.

Birthday Flowers for Mum

Cutoffs, Classrooms and Hospital Wards

When to order

Before 2pm on a weekday, so the florist can condition the stems and still make the afternoon run.
Before 10am on a Saturday, because the Saturday run finishes early in our experience.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.

What to write

For Beaumaris Primary on Dalgetty Road or Stella Maris on Charlotte Road, the teacher's name and class. For Sandringham Hospital, the patient's full name and ward. For a shop on the Concourse, the shop name. For a house, where to leave the flowers if nobody answers.

Who signs for it

The school office, the ward desk at the hospital, the counter at a shop, and at a house whoever is home. Order before 2pm on a weekday and it goes out this afternoon.

Mixed Flowers for Any Address

After the Order Goes Through

From here it is a short chain. We check the address, the order goes to a florist in or close to Beaumaris, and they build it that morning from the stock they bought in. The photo shows the look. On the day a stem can vary, and the florist keeps to the colour and the size.

If something is not right, send a photo the same day and we will sort it. The team is on 1300 360 469 from 7am to 6pm on weekdays and from 10am on Saturdays, and changes go to [email protected].

Siobhan, on the desk that always takes them

Before any of this was a network, I drove flowers to Murwillumbah Hospital myself, Asha screaming in the back, thirty-seven degrees, five minutes to get them to the desk and nowhere to park. The desk always took them. A ward or a school office has someone whose job it is (which is more than I had that day). A house is different. When the number hides behind a hedge, flowers end up next door now and then, so say what the gate looks like. And if she has not rung you by tonight, that is normal. She is reading the card again.

The flowers last a week or two. The card tends to end up in a kitchen drawer for years.

Co-founder, Lily's Florist

Beaumaris is not a suburb I have lived in. I know it through the orders that go into it. Siobhan and I bought a small flower shop on Marine Parade in Kingscliff in 2006 and turned it into a network in 2009. Today more than eight hundred partner florists take orders like these, one of them near Beaumaris.

The whole story, from the Yellow Pages mix-up onward, is on about Lily's Florist.
