Same Day Flower Delivery Bli Bli, or Any Day You Choose

The birthday is today and you're nowhere near Bli Bli. Our best-selling birthday bunches and birthday flowers for Mum go to the house the same day when the order is in before the cutoff.

One thing I learned in 2007, renting in Casuarina when half the streets off Casuarina Way were still builders' signs: a TomTom will swear a brand-new house is a paddock. I did three laps past the same skip bin (it had a very distinctive couch in it) with a birthday bunch before a man hosing his new driveway pointed me in. Bli Bli has plenty of new streets, so add a mobile and a landmark to the notes.

Anna's tip for a new house: the vases are usually still in a box somewhere. A bunch with a water pack tied at its base sits happily for the evening, and after that any tall jug will do.

Nan is at BlueCare on Lefoes Road and you can't get up this week. Say care home or the retirement village beside it, plus her room or unit. In our experience, care-home flowers are left at reception and a carer takes them through. No birthday needed: our thinking of you flowers are for exactly this, and "Thinking of you, Nan. Talk Sunday." is plenty on the card. If she's recovering at home instead, get-well flowers go to the house just the same.

An arrangement suits care better than a loose bunch. The water sits in the foam, nothing tips over on a crowded bedside table, and nobody has to hunt for a vase. Natives are a good pick there: they last, and they carry almost no scent into a small room.

The notice says the Uniting Church on Lefoes Road, or you just want the family to know you're thinking of them. For the service, add the funeral director's name and the time, because funeral flowers usually travel with the director. Sympathy flowers for home often land better a few days later. Nobody needs flowers after a death, and nearly everybody keeps the card. "Thinking of you all, with love" is enough.

Anna, on white for a service

White sits quietly beside the other tributes. The Gorgeous Whites Bunch suits the house. For the service, a sheath is flowers tied to lie flat, so a White Lily & Rose Sheath rests on a coffin without tipping.

Plenty of orders don't fit a heading: a new job, a rough week, a thank-you to the neighbour who fed the dog.

Anna's pick: roses. 3 Wrapped Red Roses for someone you love, the Rose, Gerbera & Lilies Bunch for almost anyone else. Somewhere cool and out of direct sun, roses give about a week.
