Shop ByBrunswick West Flower Delivery, Same Day to Home or Care
Flowers can be delivered in Brunswick West today when you order before 2pm on a weekday or 10am on a Saturday; after that, choose the day at checkout. Benetas Gladswood Lodge on Waxman Parade is a small home, so the resident's full name is usually enough, with the room if you have it. Our Pastel Pink Lilies & Roses Arrangement below comes arranged, so nobody at the home has to find a vase. Order online, or call us and we'll help pick the right one.

Lilies in a care-home room are lovely, with two things watched
Anna, qualified florist | on lilies in a small room
Lilies are what a lot of people picture for someone in care, and in a single room they can be the best thing on the windowsill. Two things want watching. The first is scent: an oriental lily fills a small room within a day or two, which is the point of it in a bedroom and less welcome in a shared lounge. Asiatic lilies give the same shape with almost no perfume.
The second is pollen. Every bud that opens after delivery has fresh anthers, and nobody at the home is standing by with tissues. The florists I worked with pinched off the ones already open before an order went out, and the rest come off between finger and thumb as each flower opens. In my experience the flower lasts a little longer once they are gone.
What to Write on the Card
Four Brunswick West occasions, two lines each
Pick the occasion. Every line is under fifteen words.
Happy birthday, Nonna. From Luca, in Sydney.
Ninety-one and still the boss. Love, your favourite grandson.
One step at a time, Dad. We are proud of you.
The physio says you are cheating. Keep it up.
With love and prayers for the whole family.
Eternal rest grant unto him. Thinking of you all.
No news. Just thinking of you this week.
Saw these and thought of your garden.

In a care room or a church, a short line that says who it is from and why does more than a long message.
Small Homes, Rehab Wards and the Parish on Hope Street
Brunswick West is young and apartment-heavy, and it also has small aged-care homes, a rehab hospital next door and an old parish, so birthday flowers for Mum sit beside care-home orders and services at St Joseph's.
A Birthday at a Small Home on Waxman Parade
Your grandmother is at Gladswood Lodge on Waxman Parade, and her birthday is on a weekday you are working. It is a small home, so her full name usually finds her; add the room if you know it.
In the shop years I took a birthday bunch into a small home in Murwillumbah and half the lounge came to see who it was for. She told them all it was from her boyfriend. It was from her son. Our 90th birthday flowers fit a single room.
Anna's pick: an arrangement already in its container, so it goes straight onto the windowsill.
Rehab Wards at Royal Park
Dad has gone from the hospital to rehab at the Royal Melbourne's Royal Park campus on Poplar Road, and he will be there a while. Those wards, AC1, AC2 and AC4, are for older patients working back to going home.
Write the ward and his full name; in our experience the ward desk takes flowers in and the staff carry them through. Our get-well flowers or hospital flowers suit a long stay, with “One step at a time, Dad.”
Anna, on a stay that runs to weeks
Pick stems that last: chrysanthemums and carnations will see out two weeks if someone changes the water.
Funerals From St Joseph’s on Hope Street
Someone from the parish has died and the Requiem is at St Joseph's on Hope Street. Since August 2026 St Joseph's has been part of the new Emmaus Parish, with St Ambrose, Our Lady Help of Christians and St Fidelis.
For the church, the service time and the family name; if the service is at Tobin Brothers in Moonee Ponds instead, the same two lines. Our funeral flowers and sympathy lilies both suit a Requiem. “Holding you all in our prayers.”
For a church, height carries. A spray on a stand is seen from the back pew; a bunch on the floor by the altar mostly is not.
Thinking of Someone, No Occasion
A neighbour who has been unwell, an aunt you have not rung in a while, someone just home from Royal Park. There is no category for it, and that is fine.
Anna's pick: our just-because flowers in one colour family. A single colour reads like a choice someone made, and it stays easy on the eye in a small room.

When to order
Before 2pm on weekdays, so the florist can build it and get it through the afternoon.
Before 10am on Saturdays, as the Saturday run is short in our experience.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
What to write
Gladswood Lodge on Waxman Parade or Estia on Egginton Street: the resident's full name and room. Royal Park: the ward and full name. St Joseph's on Hope Street or Tobin Brothers: the service time and family name. An apartment on Melville Road: the building, unit and intercom name.
Who takes it in
Reception at a care home, the ward desk at Royal Park, whoever is setting up at the church, and at an apartment, the person at the intercom. Before 2pm on a weekday, it goes out that afternoon.
From Payment to the Door
We pass the order to one of our partner florists near Brunswick West that day, and they make it from the morning's stock. If the photo's exact stems are not in, they hold the colour and the size.
If something arrives wrong, take a photo the same day and we sort it. Ring 1300 360 469 from 7am to 6pm on weekdays or from 10am on Saturdays, or send changes to [email protected].
Siobhan, on a home small enough to know everyone
When I was on the phones, the small homes were the orders I worried about least. Everyone knew everyone, and flowers for Mrs So-and-So found her by lunchtime (the staff usually knew her favourite colour before we did). Where it goes wrong, now and then, is the name: a married name on the order and a maiden name on the door. Put both if you are not sure. And if she does not ring, she may well have told the whole lounge instead.
In a small home, a bunch on one windowsill gets looked at by everyone who walks past the door.
