The first ten minutes decide how the week goes
Anna, qualified florist | on what to do when the flowers arrive
The first ten minutes after a bunch arrives decide most of how its week goes. Recut every stem at about forty-five degrees, because a flat cut sits on the bottom of the vase and seals itself off. Use room-temperature water to start with; it moves up a thirsty stem more easily than cold.
Then the sachet that came with them: it carries sugar to feed the flowers, something to keep bacteria down, and a little acid that helps water travel up the stem. If it has gone missing, a few drops of household bleach in clean water does the bacteria part. Change the water every two days after that. I watched a lot of good stems fail in their first week for want of exactly those ten minutes.
Whalley Drive, Clayton Road or the Family House
The line for each address
Four places Wheelers Hill flowers often go, and what to put in the notes.
- Cumberland View
Whalley Drive. Retirement unit, aged-care room or respite: say which, then the unit or room number.
- St Justin's
48 Whalley Drive, on the same street. For a Mass, the service time and the family name.
- Monash Medical Centre
Clayton Road, Clayton. The ward and full name, once there is a ward.
- A family house
Most homes here are houses. A mobile, and a shaded spot if nobody is home.
Address sorted? Choose an arrangement
Cumberland View and St Justin's share Whalley Drive, so the name of the place matters as much as the street.
Retirement Living, Eighty at Home and a Mass on Whalley Drive
Wheelers Hill skews older than most of Melbourne: at the 2021 census about one resident in eighteen was 85 or over, and close to three in ten were past 65. Our 90th birthday flowers are worth a look.
Cumberland View: Unit, Room or Respite?
Your parents have moved to Cumberland View on Whalley Drive, and you're not sure which part of the site they are in.
Cumberland View has retirement living, aged care and respite on the one site, so say which, then the unit number or the room; in our experience reception sorts it from there. Our thinking-of-you flowers carry “So glad you're settled. See you both on Sunday.”
Anna's pick: something already in water for the aged-care side; a hand-tied bunch is fine in a retirement unit with its own vases.
Mum Turns Eighty at the House
Mum turns eighty at the family house in Wheelers Hill, and everyone is coming for lunch on Sunday.
Send it on Friday, or before 10am on Saturday, so it is on the table before lunch. Our 80th birthday flowers and roses both suit. If the family is Chinese-Australian, leave chrysanthemums out of a birthday bunch; in many Chinese families they are a funeral flower.
Anna, on a long lunch table
Keep it low enough that people can still see each other across the table. A tall arrangement ends up on the sideboard by the second course.
A Funeral Mass at St Justin’s on Whalley Drive
The funeral Mass is at St Justin's on Whalley Drive, on the same street as Cumberland View, or the service is at Le Pine on Springvale Road in Glen Waverley.
Give the service time and the family name, and send for an hour before; in our experience the funeral staff put the flowers in place. Our white sympathy flowers and wreaths and sheaths suit. “With deepest sympathy to you all.”
White and cream with a little green read calmly in a church, and they sit right in most traditions.
Small Reasons Count Too
Someone is home from hospital, or a friend has a new grandchild, and a card on its own feels thin.
Anna's pick: our lilies. The buds open one after another through the week, and if you pinch the anthers off as each flower opens, there is no pollen on the tablecloth.

What to write

Your Order, From Here
Your order goes to one of our partner florists near Wheelers Hill that day, and they make it up from the morning's stock. If a stem in the photo is not in, the florist matches the colour and keeps the size.
If something isn't right, a photo the same day lets us put it right. Ring 1300 360 469 from 7am to 6pm on weekdays or from 10am on Saturdays, and email changes to [email protected].
Siobhan, on flowers for Sunday lunch
Sunday lunches were the orders I fretted over, back in the Kingscliff shop (everyone wants the flowers on the table when the family walks in). The trick is Saturday: in before ten that morning, and the flowers have a night to settle. Now and then a Saturday bunch gets popped in the laundry sink overnight and forgotten, so tell whoever is hosting that they are coming.
A bunch on the table at eighty is a small thing. The photos of it often end up with every cousin who couldn't make the lunch.
