A cymbidium orchid can see out most of the month
Anna, qualified florist | on orchids for a long stay
Cymbidium orchids are the long game. In a room at about twenty degrees a cut cymbidium gives two to three weeks, and close to a month in a cool room, with no pollen to drop and no scent to bother the person in the next bed. Phalaenopsis, the moth orchid, does a little less in a warm room, nearer a fortnight.
The one thing they hate is cold. Never put a cut orchid in the fridge: below about eight degrees the flowers are damaged and they don't come back. A splash of fresh water every couple of days is most of the care they need after that. I saw what one night in a florist's cool room does to cymbidiums: brown, see-through patches on the petals by morning.
A Line for the Card, Whoever It Is For
Pick who it is for
Two short lines for each, ready to copy into the card message.
Happy ninetieth, Nan. Saving you a slice for Sunday.
Thinking of you both. See you at lunch on Saturday.
Thank you for a wonderful year. From Lucy and family.
Thanks for making Grade 2 so much fun.
Happy birthday from the late shift.
Congratulations on the new role. Well deserved.
Rest up and get well soon.
Thinking of you. Home before you know it.
Card sorted? Choose a flower bunch
Strathdon and Parkmore Primary are both on Jolimont Road, so the notes need the place as well as the person.
Strathdon, Box Hill Hospital and a Service on Canterbury Road
Two things shape a Forest Hill order: Strathdon's 167 places on Jolimont Road, and a Chinese community of more than a quarter of residents at the 2021 census, which changes the colours for a funeral. Our birthday flowers for Mum are a natural first look.
Ninety, at Strathdon on Jolimont Road
Nan turns ninety at Uniting AgeWell Strathdon on Jolimont Road, and half the family is flying in for lunch.
Her full name and room in the notes; Strathdon has 167 places and couples share some rooms, so give both names if the card is for two. In our experience reception takes the flowers and the staff carry them through. Our 90th birthday flowers suit the day.
Anna's pick: something low in its own container, so it sits on the lunch table without anyone talking around it.
Parkmore Primary, on the Same Road as Strathdon
Term is ending at Parkmore Primary on Jolimont Road, and your kid's teacher has earned more than another mug.
Write the teacher's full name, the class and Parkmore Primary in the notes, because Strathdon's aged-care home is on the same road; in our experience the office takes the flowers in and the teacher collects them at the bell. Our thank-you flowers and yellow flowers suit a classroom desk.
Anna, on a classroom desk
A small arrangement in its own container copes with a warm classroom and the drive home on the passenger seat better than a wrapped bunch.
Funeral Flowers for St Mark’s on Canterbury Road
The service is at St Mark's Anglican Church on Canterbury Road, or at Le Pine's chapel on Whitehorse Road in Box Hill, and you want flowers there before the family arrives.
Give the service time and the family name, and send for an hour early. Our funeral flowers and white sympathy flowers both suit. “With love and sympathy. Thinking of you all.” For a Chinese-Australian family, white and soft yellow are the usual funeral colours; leave red for another day.
White and green hold up well in a cool church, and a low arrangement can travel home with the family afterwards.
No Occasion, Only a Good Reason
The neighbour who minded the kids all winter deserves something, and there is no card in the shops for that.
Anna's pick: our blue flowers. Blue sits quietly in a busy family room, and it pairs with white for someone who never liked anything too loud.

Before 10am on Saturdays, for the shorter Saturday run.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
What to write
Strathdon on Jolimont Road: full name and room, and say if it is respite. Parkmore Primary, also on Jolimont Road: the teacher and class. Box Hill Hospital: ward and full name. Forest Hill Chase: the store and their full name.

From Your Order to Their Door
Your order reaches one of our partner florists near Forest Hill that day, and they make it up from the morning's stock. If a stem in the photo is not in, they keep to the colour and the size.
If anything arrives wrong, a photo the same day lets us fix it. Call 1300 360 469 from 7am to 6pm on weekdays or from 10am on Saturdays, and send changes to [email protected].
Siobhan, on a fortnight of respite
Respite orders always caught people out, in the years I answered the shop phone in Kingscliff (Mum's only there for a fortnight, does that even count?). It does, and it is a good time for flowers, because a short stay in a strange room is exactly when something from home helps. It helps to mention it's respite, and the day she goes home. Now and then the flowers arrive the morning she has already gone home, which is why that date matters.
A fortnight of respite is a small thing on paper, and a long time in a room that isn't yours.
