Sent from Queensland for an aunt’s 90th

Siobhan and Andrew replied
Thanks Denise. Ninety is a proper innings, and a birthday like that deserves a fuss made of it. A niece thinking of her aunt at ninety, sending beautiful flowers all the way from Queensland, is the wider family showing up, and that carries more weight at ninety than it might at fifty.
A bright arrangement on her table for the day is a spot of colour in a long story. Good to have helped you mark it for her, down in Croydon.

In dementia care, familiar flowers do more than impressive ones
Anna, qualified florist | on flowers for a dementia room
In a dementia room the flowers have a different job. A rose or a daisy like the ones your mum grew is something she can place. An exotic arrangement can be one more thing in the room she does not recognise. Familiar beats impressive, every time.
The container matters as much as the stems. Residents can move suddenly and reach for things, so a low box or a weighted base that will not tip is the safer build. Some will taste a petal or sip the vase water, which is why foxglove and lily of the valley never went into a care-home order I put together. Keep the scent low too. Rooms are often shared, and the person in the next bed has a say.
Card Lines for Croydon’s Older Recipients
What to write when she is ninety, or on her own
Pick the situation. Every line is under fifteen words.
Ninety looks good on you, Aunty Pat.
Happy 90th. Wish I was in Croydon for the cake.
Nothing to report. Just thinking about you.
Kettle on Sunday? I will ring at four.
From Kate, your granddaughter. Love you, Nan.
Roses, like the ones by your back door. Love, Kate.
Thinking of you all. With love.
No words. Just love, from all of us in Brisbane.

For someone living with dementia, a card that says who you are and how you are related does more than a long message.
Check-Ins, New Babies and the Chapel
A lot of what goes into Croydon is for older residents, from 80th birthday flowers to check-ins with no occasion at all, along with new babies and the services at Le Pine.
Someone on Their Own in the House
Mum has lived alone since Dad's funeral and says she is fine, which you have heard before. The census counts 30 per cent of Croydon households as one person, so plenty of orders here are check-ins with no occasion.
Put her landline in the notes as well as your mobile; plenty of people on their own do not carry a phone around the house. In the shop years a woman in Pottsville made me come in for a cup of tea before she would open the card, and the next three deliveries were late. Our thinking-of-you flowers go with “Nothing to report. Just thinking about you.”
Lilies and stock open over the week, a few buds at a time, so the vase looks different from one morning to the next.
New Grandchild? Ask Which Hospital
The baby is here and the family lives in Croydon, but the birth was somewhere else. Maroondah Hospital has no maternity ward, so the ward to ask about is Box Hill Hospital's, or a private hospital's.
Mum's full name and the maternity ward go in the notes. In our experience new mums go home fast, so check she is still in before you order, or send it to the house. Our new baby flowers or hospital flowers both fit, with “Congratulations. Can't wait for a cuddle.”
Anna, on a newborn's room
Leave lilies for another day: the pollen and the perfume are both too much near a newborn. Roses and lisianthus give the same softness without either.
The Chapel on Mount Dandenong Road
The service is at Le Pine on Mount Dandenong Road and you are sending from away. Put the service time and the family name in the notes, and the florist aims to beat the first car into the car park.
Croydon also has a Chin community, many of them Baptist, who meet at the Uniting Church on Tallant Street; in our experience their services welcome flowers, white for the church or the home. Our funeral flowers and white sympathy flowers cover both. “With love and sympathy to you all.”
Anna's pick: a sheath, a flat spray tied at the stems, which lies on the coffin or a side table and can be carried home afterwards.
Short on Ideas, Long on Reasons
A neighbour who did the bins for a month, a friend after surgery, a good result. Some orders have no heading, and you do not need one.
Anna's pick: our pink flowers, with carnations in among them. In a cool room with clean water a carnation can go close to three weeks, and the buds keep opening into the second week.

Arrangements for a Care RoomDelivery Times and the Right Room
When to order
Before 2pm on weekdays, so it can be made up and still reach a house before the afternoon is gone.
Before 10am on Saturdays, since the Saturday run is a short one in our experience.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
What to write
Bupa Croydon on Maroondah Highway, Donwood on Diana Street or Croydon Grove on Mount Dandenong Road: the resident's full name and room, and dementia care if it applies. Le Pine: the service time and family name. A house: a mobile and a shaded spot. A Main Street shop: its name.
Who takes it in
Reception at a care home, the funeral staff at Le Pine, the counter at a shop, and at a house whoever is home, or the shaded spot you named. In before 2pm on a weekday, out that afternoon.
Between Now and Their Door
When the order is through, it goes to a florist in or close to Croydon the same day, made up from what went into their cool room that morning. If a stem in the photo is not in that day, the florist swaps like for like and keeps the colour and the size.
If something is not right, take a photo the same day and we fix it. The team is on 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm on weekdays and from 10am on Saturdays. Changes go to [email protected].
Siobhan, on the house where nobody is home
Most of Croydon is houses, and plenty of them sit empty through the working day. When I was on the phones, the calls that worried me were the ones where nobody answered the door: the flowers went to a neighbour or back for a second try, and the sender heard nothing for hours. A mobile and a shaded spot in the notes saves all of that. And if your aunt rings three days later to say thank you, that is quite quick for ninety.
At ninety, the card tends to get propped against the vase and read out to every visitor who comes through.
