What to send so it lasts in a warm Bentley Park house
Anna, qualified florist | the stems that handle the heat, and the fruit bowl
For a house in Cairns, chrysanthemums are the stem I would send. They take the heat, and they do not care where they end up, which matters because a lot of bunches land on the kitchen bench beside the fruit bowl. Ripening bananas and mangoes give off ethylene, a gas flowers read as the signal to finish, and at twenty-eight degrees carnations sitting next to the fruit curl at the edges within about a day.
It took me one hot summer and a bucket of curled carnations beside a fruit box to connect the two. Carnations in another room go on for a week or more. Chrysanthemums will sit beside the mangoes and not flinch.
Birthdays, Teachers and Sympathy Across Bentley Park
Nearly every address here is a house, with two big schools on McLaughlin Road and Robert Road, so the cards below cover birthdays, teachers and sympathy, plus celebration flowers for a new job or first keys.
When the Birthday Falls on a School Day
On a weekday a lot of Bentley Park houses sit empty until after school pickup (then it's the shops, then dinner), which is usually when a birthday gets its five minutes. Birthday flowers for Mum, a daughter or a friend go to the house, and with a mobile in the notes the driver rings rather than leaving them on a hot step, in our experience. A neighbour may see them before the birthday girl does, which is fine, and you won't see her face either way. Our best-selling birthday flowers are an easy start.
If there are lilies, pinch the orange anthers off as each one opens. No pollen on small hands or school shirts, and the lily lasts longer.
Put the Teacher's Full Name in the Notes
End of the year, and one teacher who made the class click. Thank-you flowers for a teacher at Bentley Park College or St Therese's go to the front office, which in our experience holds them and gets word to the classroom. I learned what the notes need in December 2007, carrying a bunch into Kingscliff Public School on the last day of term with Asha (six months old, very loud) on my hip. Eleven bunches already on the office bench. Two teachers called Karen. So: full name and year level in the notes. The same goes for graduation flowers for a Year 12.
Anna, on a Friday bunch
Friday flowers can sit in a shut classroom all weekend. Leucadendron wears that without blinking and gives ten days or more.
Send Sympathy Flowers to the Service or the House
Someone in a Bentley Park family has died, and you're sorting the flowers from wherever you are. Funeral flowers usually go to the funeral director ahead of the service, so put the director's name and the service time in the notes. Sympathy flowers for the home suit the week after, when the house goes quiet. On the card, “Thinking of you all” or “So sorry, with love” is enough.
From Anna: a sheaf lies flat on a coffin or beside a grave. A vase arrangement belongs at the house, where someone can top up the water.
If None of These Quite Fits
Plenty of reasons to send flowers don't come with a heading: a new job, a rough week, the end of a long term. Anna has a view on this one.
Go for a mixed bunch with alstroemeria through it. The buds open one after another, so the bunch keeps changing, and even in Cairns heat it gives five to eight days.

In our experience the driver knocks, then rings before leaving anything on a hot step, and schools sign at the front office. In before 2pm, there this afternoon.

Between Checkout and the Front Step
Once you've paid, one of our partner florists near Bentley Park takes the order, and an email confirms it's in. To check on it or change the card, ring our team on 1300 360 469 (7am to 6pm weekdays, from 10am Saturday) or email [email protected]. If anything is wrong when it arrives, send us a photo that day and we'll put it right.
Andrew, on the date in the date picker
When an order went wrong in my years on the phones, 2006 to 2013, it was usually the date. Birthday on the Friday. Order dated the Saturday. Nobody noticed until Friday night, when the phone stayed quiet. Check the date picker twice. And if the birthday girl doesn't ring the minute they arrive, that's normal. School pickup comes first.
