Sent to friends in Ferntree Gully
"Lily's Florist prepared a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers that were promptly sent to celebrate the birth of my friends' new baby. Thank you so much for the colourful and joyous flower arrangement; the recipients were quite thrilled to receive it, and I was so glad I had chosen Lily's. I have always found Lily's Florist to provide excellent quality flowers. Great to have a florist that I can rely upon."

A new baby is the easy kind of order, Kathryn. Nothing riding on it but good news, which is what makes a repeat customer on one of these worth more to me than on the anxious ones. You could have rung anyone for a colourful bunch and not thought twice. Came back to us anyway. Gerberas were the right call for it; the face opens flat and wide, so a handful reads bright across a room without a big arrangement around them. Good to hear they turned up in Ferntree Gully the way you pictured. A repeat order is the only review I really count. Yours came through again, so thanks.
The farms are up the hill, and the stems still go to Epping first
The Dandenong Ranges hold one of the biggest clusters of cut-flower farms in the country, and Ferntree Gully sits right at their foot. You would think that means stems come straight down the hill. Most of them go through the wholesale market at Epping before dawn and a florist buys them back, which still makes it one of the shortest trips any stem in Australia takes.
Short is not the same as ready. Stems off the truck need a few hours in water before anyone arranges them, and I learned to leave a bucket alone until mid-morning even when the bench was waiting. You see the difference a week later: the conditioned bunch is still upright on the table, and the rushed one is drooping at the neck.
Tap the kind of address and see what goes in the notes.
Aged care and independent units share one site on Underwood Road. Write which one, then the room or unit number and the resident's full name.
Care rooms are small: an arrangement in its own container suits them better than a big wrapped bunch.
For Le Pine's chapel on Burwood Highway, the service time and the family name. Parking is off Brenock Park Drive.
For the cemetery on Forest Road, which takes ashes in its niche walls, a small posy sits better than a tall vase.
Nine homes in ten here are houses. A mobile that answers and a shaded spot by the door are enough.
On a hot afternoon, a neighbour's name beats a doorstep.
St Joseph's College on Brenock Park Drive and St John the Baptist School on Forest Road both take flowers at the front office, in our experience. The teacher's full name and their class or faculty.

Pick the address here and you have already written the one line the driver reads at the kerb.
Flowers into Ferntree Gully go to grandparents in the villages and to new babies, with milestone birthdays in between and the services at the chapel on Burwood Highway.
Dad has moved into care at Glengollan, or your aunt has a unit there, and you are not sure which address that makes it. Write “aged care” or “unit” first, then the room or unit number.
We delivered to retirement villages across the Tweed for years in the shop days, and the ones with a care wing and units on the same grounds were where I learnt to read the notes twice. For a visit you cannot make, our thinking-of-you flowers do the job, with a card as simple as “Thinking of you, Dad. See you Sunday.”
Care rooms run warm and dry with the heating on. Chrysanthemums and carnations hold their petals in that air, and an arrangement in its own container saves anyone hunting for a vase.
The baby has arrived and everyone else seems to be on the ward while you are ordering from somewhere else. Angliss Hospital in Upper Ferntree Gully has a maternity unit; send there while mum is in, or home once she is out.
For the hospital, the mum's full name and the ward; in our experience flowers go to the ward desk and the staff take them in. A soft pink bunch with “Welcome, little one. Love from all of us” is plenty.
Nothing heavily scented and nothing that sheds. New parents are not changing vase water this week.
The service is at Le Pine on Burwood Highway and you cannot be there. The chapel seats about ninety and fills early, so the florist aims to arrive before the doors open. Give the service time and the family name.
Our wreaths and sheaths are made for the chapel, and white sympathy flowers suit the family's front room afterwards. “With love to you all” is enough on the card.
Anna's note: a wreath or sheath is built in floral foam, and if it goes home with the family afterwards, the water in the foam goes stale. Draw the old water out with a baster every few days and refill it, or the stems rot from the base.
Some orders are a good result, a new job, or someone who just needs a lift on a Tuesday. There is no wrong reason here.
Anna's pick: something from our daisies and gerberas. They are cheerful without needing a reason. The hollow stem drinks fast, so clean water every couple of days keeps the heads upright.

Years ago, on the phones, the worry I heard most about villages was that the flowers had gone missing, when really Nan had them on the windowsill and had not mentioned it to anyone. People in care do not always ring back the same day, and that is normal. Where it does go wrong at a big site like this, it is usually the right flowers at the wrong building, which is why this page keeps asking which one.
She may not remember who sent them by Thursday. She will remember that somebody did.
