A house, a farm gate or a ward at Nambour General on Hospital Road are all fine, with the ward and full name in the notes for the hospital. Pick a Colourful Bunch Including Chocolates for a birthday or a Gorgeous White Arrangement for a grieving family from our hand-selected range below, and buy online in minutes. Or call us, and one of our friendly, Australian-based team will help you choose.
How long will flowers last in a Coes Creek house? A fortnight or so for the tougher stems, if they live in a different room from the fruit bowl.
Ripening bananas, apples and avocados give off ethylene, a gas you can't smell, and flowers take it as the signal to finish. Carnations curl their petals in. Waxflower drops every tiny flower at once, as if someone shook it over the bin. In a warm kitchen that can happen inside a day. I learned it at the bench, the first time a bucket of carnations sat beside a box of bananas and went sleepy, which is what the trade calls that curl.
Put the vase in a different room from the fruit. Chrysanthemums and gerberas barely notice ethylene. Carnations do, and on a dining table away from it, in clean water, they go about a fortnight.
From what we see, most of the flowers we deliver into Coes Creek are for a birthday, someone unwell or a funeral, and all three can go out the same day. For someone having a rough week, there are thinking of you flowers too.
The birthday is today and you're nowhere near Coes Creek. For a 40th in one of the suburb's quiet courts, the street number is all the notes need. A farm with an honesty box at the gate needs more.
I learned that on Cudgen Road in 2008, delivering from our Marine Parade shop in Kingscliff. Nobody was home and the notes said leave them at the farm stall by her gate, so I stood the bunch between the sweet potatoes and the honesty tin. The woman it was for rang that night to thank us. Someone had paid five dollars into the tin for the flowers. She kept both. So on a farm address, tell us where the flowers should wait.
Anna's tip: keep a bright bunch out of the afternoon sun. Reds and purples fade first on a sunny sill, and a red can pink out in two days.
They're in Nambour General, or home and sick of the couch. For the hospital, add the ward and their full name to the notes; in our experience a nurse takes the flowers in from the ward desk, and there's a hospital flowers range for exactly this. Once they're home, get well flowers go to the house. For the card: "Mend quick. Thinking of you."
Ward rooms are small and often shared. Something already in its vase, low and near scentless, suits them best. Gerberas and chrysanthemums have next to no perfume.
Someone has died, and you're unsure whether the flowers belong at the service or the house. For the funeral, give us the funeral director's name and the service time; in our experience the flowers go to the director ahead of the service. For the family, send sympathy flowers to the house in the week after, once the visitors thin out. It will feel like too little. The card gets kept anyway. Try: "With love, thinking of you all."
On the bench at Salt I kept funeral work to whites and creams, so it sat quietly among the other tributes. With lilies, pinch the anthers off as each one opens.
Plenty of what we send has no occasion at all: a new job, a long week, a friend you haven't rung. That's what the just because range is for, and Anna would start with the 3 Gerberas In A Vase.
They arrive already in water, they're bright without trying, and gerberas barely notice the fruit bowl.

Plenty of people aren't home when flowers come, and that's fine. Our florists tend to leave them out of the sun and ring the mobile in the notes (so do put one in). And if you've heard nothing by tea time, give it a day. I took our calls from 2006 until February 2011, and nearly every worried sender I spoke to heard back in the end, usually once the flowers were in water and the kettle was on.
Andrew again. Anywhere shady. Just not beside the honesty box.
