The flowers that last longest in a Caravonica house or room
Anna, qualified florist | on the two rooms a bunch lands in
Flowers in Cairns live in one of two climates. With the doors open, a house is warm and humid, and warmth speeds up everything a cut stem does, so buds open and blooms finish sooner. In an air-conditioned room, or an aged-care room where the aircon tends to run all day, the air drops to around thirty percent humidity and thin petals dry from the edges in. It took me a summer at the bench to work out why the bunch under the vent always went first.
Chrysanthemums shrug off both, and in my experience go close to a fortnight. Natives like leucadendron and protea are nearly as tough, which makes the Australian Native Arrangement a safe pick for Cairns. Roses and gerberas are lovely too in the coolest room, away from the vent and the afternoon sun, topped up daily.
Birthday, Sympathy and Aged-Care Flowers for Caravonica
Most orders here are a birthday at a house, sympathy for a family, or a birthday at Caravonica Waters, with plenty of thinking of you flowers in between. Everything below can go out same day.
Sending Birthday Flowers to a House?
It's their birthday, and on a weekday afternoon they could be at work, at the shops or on the school pickup. Put their mobile in the notes, and a workplace if they have one, so the flowers aren't left sitting in the sun. The Colourful Bunch Including Chocolates is a safe all-rounder, and if it's your mum's birthday, start with our birthday flowers for Mum.
Anna, on the first five minutes in the vase
Worth passing on with the card: recut the stems at about forty-five degrees, because a flat cut sits flush on the floor of the vase and blocks the water. Room-temperature water first, because it climbs a thirsty stem more easily than cold from the fridge jug.
Sympathy Goes to the House After the Service
Someone has died and the service is across town. Flowers for the funeral go to the funeral director; flowers for the family go to the house in the days after, addressed by surname. Our sympathy flowers for the home suit that week. A card can be short: "So sorry. Here if you need anything."
Bright colour shouts in a grieving house. White, cream and soft green sit quietly on a crowded kitchen bench, and the Gorgeous White Arrangement suits that bench, as does anything in our white sympathy flowers.
Ninety Candles, One Room Number
The birthday is at Caravonica Waters and you can't be there. I learnt what the notes need in 2007, carrying a ninetieth birthday arrangement into the aged-care home on Kingscliff Street, a short walk from our Marine Parade shop, and straight into morning tea. Three residents put their hands up for it. One was very convincing. A nurse read the card and took it off me.
So put the full name and room number in the notes; in our experience reception signs and staff take the flowers down the hall. Start with our 80th birthday flowers or 90th birthday flowers.
Anna's pick: small and steady, with chrysanthemums or carnations. For someone living with dementia, something from their own garden. Roses. Daisies.
If Nothing Above Quite Fits
Plenty of orders do not fit a heading: a thank-you to the neighbour who fed the dog, a friend's rough month, a grandparent you have not rung in a while.
Anna's call: the Beautiful Pastels Bunch. Soft colour reads right for all three, and nobody has to guess what you meant. There is more in our pink flowers.

Siobhan, on ninety-year-olds and telephones
Most residents at Caravonica Waters won't ring to say the flowers came, and the staff are flat out, so don't read the quiet as bad news (it almost never is). When I was on the phones, up to February 2011, the aged-care orders that came unstuck were nearly always missing a surname; "Nan, room twelve" doesn't get far at a front desk. Flowers are a small thing next to being there. Your nan will still show them to everyone at lunch.
