Choose 3 Gerberas In A Vase for a birthday or the White Lily & Rose Sheath for a funeral below, or call us and one of our friendly Australian team will order it with you.

Sending gerberas to Jarvisfield? How they stay standing in the heat
Anna, qualified florist | hollow stems in the dry tropics
Gerberas are the cheerful ones, a birthday favourite, and North Queensland heat asks more of them. The stem is hollow, florists call it a scape, so nothing woody holds the head up. In warm water, bacteria block the cut end inside a day and the neck folds. A good florist wires each stem from the inside, and you never see it.
I learned the rescue at Salt, in Kingscliff, one February with a bucket I'd already written off. Recut two centimetres, stand them in shallow warm water for an hour, and most heads come back up. Then fresh water every second day.
Birthday, Sympathy and Anniversary Flowers for Jarvisfield
Most flowers sent to Jarvisfield are for a birthday or a funeral, ordered by family in Townsville, Brisbane or further away. Get well and plain thinking of you flowers go out the same way.
Birthday Flowers to a Farm Where Nobody's Home Till Dark
It's their birthday and you're nowhere near Jarvisfield. Send flowers to the house or to their work in Ayr, and for a milestone, start with 50th birthday flowers. In the cane harvest a farmhouse can sit empty till dark, so name a spot in the notes, out of the afternoon sun.
Anna's call: a mixed bunch with deep reds and purples keeps its colour indoors, away from a west window. Strong sun breaks those pigments down and the reds go pink within a couple of days.
Funeral Flowers to the Service, Sympathy Flowers to the House
Someone's gone and you can't be there. Wreaths and sheaths go to the service, so add the venue and the time. For the week after, sympathy flowers for the home land better, because that's where the family is.
In 2007 I took an arrangement out to a cane farm at Stotts Creek, on the Tweed, the day after a funeral. Fourteen cars in the paddock. I was handed a cup of tea before I'd put the vase down, then a plate, then a chair. I stayed forty minutes. I'd come to drop off flowers. In our experience farm families gather at the house like that, so the house is the address. A card that works: "Thinking of you all this week."
From Anna, on lilies in a full house
White sympathy lilies open one bud after another, so they're still going after the visitors leave. Pinch off the orange anthers as each one opens.
For Mum and Dad's Anniversary, Aim for the Kitchen Table
Forty years married, and you can't be at the dinner. Anniversary flowers sent in the morning are on the table by the time they sit down, and the love and romance range has the red roses.
Peel off the guard petals, the rough outer ones that protected the bloom on the road. The bloom underneath is fresh. Cool water in the vase slows the opening, so the roses stay on the table longer.
Not Sure What to Send?
Plenty of orders don't fit a heading: a long week, a good result, someone you haven't rung in a while.
Anna's pick for a warm kitchen bench
The Native Arrangement With Chocolates sits in its own silver cube, in foam that holds the water, so nobody hunts for a vase. Protea and leucadendron are woody and tough, which is why native flowers last in heat. Protea drinks hard, though, so top the foam up every couple of days. Chocolates go in the fridge.

For the house, the week after the service.
Send Sympathy FlowersThree Things to Get Right Before You Pay
When to order
Before 2pm on a weekday for same day: the morning is for building it, the afternoon for the drive out. Before 10am on a Saturday, as most of our florists close at lunch.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
What the notes need
The farm name and the number off the gate, because Rita Island Road and Anabranch Road run a long way. A mobile for the recipient. For a funeral, the venue and the service time.
Who takes it
Whoever's home, or the spot you named. At a funeral home, in our experience staff set flowers out before the family arrives. Order this morning and it can be there this afternoon.

If You Want to Know It Got There
An email confirms the order. The florist builds it that day and it goes out in the afternoon. To check on it or change the card, ring 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm weekdays and from 10am Saturday, or email [email protected]. If something arrives wrong, send us a photo the same day.
Siobhan, on the bunch that isn't the photo
I took calls from 2006 until just before Ivy arrived in 2011 (eight and a half months pregnant on Valentine's Day, which was rough), and the hard one was always the same: it doesn't look like the photo. It's built from whatever came in that morning, and up north in summer some flowers just don't come in at all. Different isn't wrong, but ring us anyway. And if your person hasn't rung to say thanks, that's normal. The harvest doesn't stop for flowers.
