Why Flowers Sent to Katoomba Last Longer, and What Cuts Them Short
Anna, qualified florist | on cold rooms and heaters
A room at fifteen to eighteen degrees is about the kindest place in Australia for cut flowers. Cold slows everything down, so a rose that gives a Sydney lounge room a week can run ten to fourteen days in Katoomba. The cold that does harm is outside: tender stems left on a frosty doorstep can blacken within hours.
The heater is what finishes them. Dry air off a fire pulls water out of the petals faster than the stems can replace it, and the edges go papery by morning. The first time I saw it, I blamed the flowers. Put the vase across the room from the heat and top it up daily.
Hospital, Chapel or Front Room: What the Notes Need
Pick where it is going
Four kinds of Katoomba address, four different sets of notes. Get them right and nobody has to ring around.
Blue Mountains Hospital, corner of the Great Western Highway and Woodlands Road
The patient's full name and the ward. In our experience the flowers are taken to the ward desk and the staff carry them in.
Katoomba Views Care Community, Penault Avenue
The resident's full name, and their room or wing if you have it. Rooms tend to be small, so an arrangement that arrives in its own container saves the staff hunting for a jug.
Brownjohn Family Funerals, Lurline Street · St Canice's or St Hilda's, Katoomba Street · Katoomba General Cemetery, Woodlands Road
The full name of the person who has died, the funeral director, and the service date and time. Order the day before if you can, so the tribute is there before the family arrives.
A house anywhere in Katoomba
A mobile number that will answer, and a sheltered spot if nobody is home. On a winter morning that means out of the wind and off a frosty step, or with a neighbour you name.
Katoomba Flowers for Birthdays, Get Well and Funerals
Birthdays are what we send most, sympathy flowers come second, and Blue Mountains Hospital on the highway brings get-well orders as well. Our Australian native flowers, the bestseller across the whole network, suit all three.
A Birthday Today, and You Can't Be at the Table
The birthday is today and you can't be there. Order before the cutoff and our birthday flowers go out today, and if nobody is home, the notes say where to leave them. Turning 80 or 90 at Katoomba Views? Pick an arrangement from our 80th birthday flowers and it goes straight onto the bedside table.
Anna's pick: the Rose, Gerbera & Lilies Bunch. In a cool room all three hold well past a week. Pinch the lily anthers off as they open and the pollen stays off the cardigan.
Get Well Flowers to Blue Mountains Hospital: Name the Ward
You have a ward number off a text message and no way of visiting before the weekend. Put the patient's full name and ward in the notes and our hospital flowers find the right bed. I learned the ward lesson at Murwillumbah Hospital in 2007: newborn Asha screaming in the back seat, 37 degrees, no parking, no ward on the card. Katoomba at least spares the driver the heat. On the card, "Thinking of you. Home soon." is plenty.
Anna on ward flowers
Boxed or in a vase, never a wrapped bunch. A ward rarely has a spare jug. Wards tend to run warm and dry, and chrysanthemum and carnation shrug that off, so they are the stems to look for among the get well flowers.
Funeral Flowers: For the Service or the Family's House?
You have a date, a funeral director's name, and not much else. For the service, put the director in the notes (Brownjohn on Lurline Street, for example) with the service time, and our funeral flowers can be there before the family arrives. For the house, send sympathy flowers for home a week later, once the visitors thin out. Flowers change nothing about what has happened. Families keep the cards anyway. "Thinking of you all" is enough to write on one.
A sheath suits a service best. It lies flat on the coffin, then the binding comes off and the stems go into a vase at the family's place. A wreath is built into foam, so it stays where it was laid.
For the Orders That Fit No Heading: Blue Mist
Plenty of what we send has no heading: a new job, a rough week, a thank-you to the neighbour who fed the dog.
Anna's answer is the Blue Mist Arrangement. Its blues come from the same pigments sunlight breaks down, so kept out of the afternoon sun they hold their colour to the end.
It's an arrangement, so it lands on a desk or a bedside without anyone finding a vase. There is more like it in our thinking of you range.
More ways to choose
Order before 2pm on a weekday and it reaches Katoomba this afternoon, boxed or in a vase and able to stand on its own.
Choose an arrangementSame-Day Cutoffs, Notes and Who Takes It In
Same-day cutoffs
2pm weekdays, so our partner florist has time to build it and still deliver the same day.
10am Saturday, because Saturday is a shorter working day.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
Later orders take any date you pick at checkout.
What the notes need
A full name and a mobile that answers. For a staffroom at Katoomba High School or a guest at the Carrington Hotel, add the department or room. Reception tends to hold the flowers until they are collected.
Who takes it in
A person, ideally: a nurse at the ward desk, a carer at reception, the funeral director before the service. A house with nobody in gets the spot the notes name. Order before 2pm on a weekday and it is with them this afternoon.
Once You've Paid
You get a confirmation email, and the order goes to our partner florist in the area, who builds and delivers it. To check it landed, ring 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm weekdays, from 10am Saturday. To change a detail, email [email protected]. Something wrong? Send us a photo the same day and we take it from there.
Siobhan, who was on the phones from 2006 to 2011
If they haven't rung to say thanks, that's normal. People in hospital, or grieving, or ninety and tired don't reach for the phone first. The thing that used to catch people out was a discharge, flowers arriving at the ward the afternoon the patient went home, and everyone ringing around (nobody's favourite phone call). So if they might be going home today, send to the house. They'll ring when they're ready.
