No vase at their place? Send flowers that bring their own
If you don't know what's in their cupboard, send flowers that come with a vase, like the 2 Lily Stems In Glass Vase or the Natives Flowers With A Vase. A bunch lives or dies by what it's stood in. Too wide and the stems splay and the heads hang over the rim by day two. Too narrow and they're jammed together, fighting over the water.
I learnt that on the bench at Salt in Kingscliff, watching a hand-tied bunch fall open in a fishbowl like an umbrella. Warmth speeds it all up: in warm water, bacteria settle on the cut ends within about a day, so change the water every second day.
A birthday at a house or a unit, a room at Edge Hill Orchards, a family who has lost someone: every one of them can go same day. Sometimes you're just thinking of them, and that's reason enough.
It's their birthday today, you're probably nowhere near Cairns, and you can't remember if they're in the house or the unit out the back. Put the number and a mobile in the notes. I heard "it's the one at the back" hundreds of times on the phones, and the mobile is what got those flowers to the right door. For a kid's birthday, the Bright Bunch + Teddy + Birthday Balloon from our birthday flowers never goes astray.
No vase in the flat? A big water jug works, as long as the stems stand up without leaning on the rim.
Mum's at Edge Hill Orchards on Oregon Street, and you want something in her room for her 80th or 90th, or just because it's been a while. Put her full name, the name she actually goes by, and her room number in the notes. I learnt that in 2008 at the front desk of Raffles in Tweed Heads South, holding a birthday bunch for a Dorothy nobody had heard of, with Asha on my hip. She was Dot on the whiteboard. Everyone knew Dot.
Anna's tip: care rooms tend to be air-conditioned, and carnations and natives handle that dry air best. Keep the vase away from the vent.
Someone has died, and the family house is often full already, relatives in from everywhere and the kettle always on. Flowers are a small thing next to that, and people still notice them. Send sympathy flowers to the home, or funeral flowers to the service with the funeral director's name and the time in the notes. If the family is Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, ask someone close if flowers are welcome, and if the name of the person who died should stay off the card. "Thinking of you all, with love" is enough.
Natives last in a warm house. In my experience leucadendron gives ten days or more, protea about a week. The Australian Natives Bunch is the one I'd send.
Plenty of reasons to send flowers don't have a heading: a new job, a thank-you, a sorry. If you're stuck, the 3 Gerberas In A Vase suits nearly anyone.
It's my pick because the vase comes with it. Gerberas drink hard in the warmth, so keep the vase topped up, and if a head droops, recut 2cm off the stem and stand it in shallow warm water for an hour.

At a house, whoever answers. At a care home, in our experience, reception takes it through to the room. At a funeral, the director tends to place it early. Order now and it's with them later today.

You'll get an email once the order's through, then it usually goes quiet. That's normal. A resident in a care home, or a house full of family, doesn't always ring the same day (I was hopeless at it myself). To check or change anything, call 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm weekdays and from 10am Saturday, or email [email protected].
Cairns was one of our ten busiest delivery areas in 2007 and 2008, and one of the first eight towns in the network in 2009. Your order goes to a partner florist near Manoora, who builds it that day. What trips us up here is a unit block with no unit number: the florist rings you, and the afternoon shrinks. If anything arrives wrong, email a photo to updatemyorder the same day and we fix it.
