Natives
You Have Already Picked Natives. Good Call.
You are looking at four products that look similar in the photos. They are not the same. The difference is format, and the right one depends on where the flowers are going and what the recipient will do with them when they arrive.
The Australian Natives Bunch is the one most people order. Hand-tied, wrapped, delivered in water. The recipient puts it in their own vase. Banksia, protea, leucadendron, seasonal foliage. The woody pieces dry naturally on the shelf for months after the soft blooms fade, which is why this has become our most popular sympathy option. You are giving something that outlasts the week.
The Australian Native Arrangement arrives in a vessel. No vase hunt, no scissors, no re-cutting. If you are sending to a hospital, the arrangement goes straight onto the bedside table without the ward staff having to find a container. If you are sending to someone who lives alone and you are not sure what they have at home, this removes the problem.
The Natives With A Vase is the bunch plus a glass vase in the box. For someone interstate you have not visited in a while. You do not know if they have a vase that fits woody structural pieces. Now it does not matter.
The Native Arrangement With Chocolates is the arrangement plus chocolates. For birthdays and thank you occasions where the delivery will be opened in front of other people and needs to feel like a proper gift, not a single gesture.
If the photos all look the same to you (they do look similar, the difference is in the format not the flowers), ring 1300 360 469 and we will sort it in two minutes.

Anna, Qualified Florist
I fielded over ten thousand calls from our Pottsville office between 2010 and 2013, and the question I heard most about natives was some version of "will it look like a proper arrangement or just a bunch of bush flowers?" It will look like a proper arrangement. The protea heads are sculptural, the banksia cones add texture and depth, and the eucalyptus foliage fills the shape the way roses never could. Belinda's photo above is what a real delivery looks like on a real kitchen bench. No styling, no studio. The florist built that from whatever came in strongest from the market that week, and it holds together because native pieces have structure that soft European flowers do not. They cost more than a standard rose bunch ($126.20 starting) because the stock is seasonal and the florists who do this well are specialists. The trade-off is the arrangement holds for two to three weeks and the woody pieces dry naturally for months after. Cost per week of enjoyment is lower than roses, even at the higher price point.
Delivery is $16.95 anywhere in Australia. Same day if you order before 2pm weekdays or 10am Saturdays. Ring 1300 360 469 or email [email protected] if you need help choosing or want to check on an order after placing it.
