Sending Flowers to Park Avenue? Here's How a Box Arrangement Lasts
Anna, qualified florist | on foam, the vase that gives no warning
A box arrangement is built into a block of soaked florist's foam, and the foam is the vase. That's why I steered people toward boxes for aged-care rooms and for anyone without a jug handy.
The catch is that foam gives no warning. A vase shows you the water dropping. Foam looks the same wet or dry, until every stem wilts at once. The first time I saw it happen I blamed the flowers. It was the foam, and once it's bone dry it sheds water instead of soaking it up. Pour a little in every second day, and daily in a Rockhampton summer, when the heat dries it out faster.
Park Avenue Flower Delivery for Birthdays, Aged Care and Funerals
Birthdays are what we send most, across the country, so they come first below, then aged care and funerals. One local detail: at the 2021 census, more Park Avenue residents worked in hospitals than in any other industry, so thank-you flowers for a nurse are best sent to the house on a day off. Sent to the ward, in our experience, they wait at the nurses' station until knock-off.
Birthday Flowers When You Can't Hand Them Over
It's Mum's 70th, or just her birthday, and you're three hours away or three states. Send to the house if she'll be home, or to work if she won't, and put her mobile number in the notes. With it, the florist can ring her if nobody answers. Without it, the flowers sit on a step and wait. Start with our birthday flowers for Mum.
Anna's call: roses do beautifully in Rockhampton if they're kept cool. Warmth speeds a rose up, so on a sunny sill it opens flat and drops its petals days early. The room with the aircon, out of the draught, slows the whole thing down.
Flowers for a Room at Leinster Place
Dad's at Leinster Place on Pearce Street now, and you can't get there this week. Put his full name and room number in the notes. I learnt why in 2007, on Kingscliff Street. A bunch of carnations, the Uniting aged-care home, and a row of blocks that all look the same from the car park. I did three laps. A nurse read the name on the card and pointed. Thinking of you flowers suit his room, and "See you Sunday, Dad" is plenty on the card.
Anna, on size
Keep it compact. That bedside table has his glasses and a photo on it. Flowers about one and a half times the height of their box or vase look generous and still leave him room.
Two Places Sympathy Flowers Can Go
The notice gives you the service time, the church and the funeral director, and not much else. The first place is the service. In our experience funeral flowers go through that director, even when the Mass is at Our Lady Help of Christians on Main Street. Put the director's name in the notes (Harts, Fitzroy Funerals or Tucker & Nankivell, for example) with the service time. The second place is the family home, a week or so on, with our sympathy flowers for home. "With love, from all of us" is enough on the card. Flowers can't say much at a funeral, and families keep the cards anyway.
For a Catholic Mass I always put together white lilies and roses, and nobody ever questioned them. A sheath lies flat on the coffin. No vase, nothing to tip.
Not Sure What They'd Like? Go Blue
Some orders don't fit a heading: the neighbour who fed the dog, the brother you haven't rung since Easter. Anna has a view on this.
People default to pink because it feels safe. Send the Blue Mist Arrangement. Blue and white works for a man or a woman, a birthday or a rough week, and its own foam means it's ready the moment it's set down.
More ways to choose
In before 2pm on a weekday and it's in Park Avenue this afternoon, ready to set down.
Shop Flower ArrangementsGet the Delivery Time and the Notes Right
Cutoffs
2pm weekdays for same day, so our partner florist in Rockhampton has time to make the order and take it out.
10am Saturdays online, the same reason on a shorter day.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
After a cutoff, the date picker at checkout takes over.
What the notes need
A house: the number, the street and a mobile. Leinster Place: full name and room. A funeral: the director (Harts on Ford Street, Fitzroy Funerals on Musgrave Street or Tucker & Nankivell on Alma Street, for example), the name of the person who has died and the service time. A teacher at Park Avenue State School or Emmaus College on Main Street: their full name.
Who takes it
A house: whoever answers, or a shady spot you name. Aged care and schools: usually the front desk or the office. Funerals: the director. In before 2pm on a weekday, it still goes today.
The Work Starts After You Pay
On the delivery day our partner florist in Rockhampton makes your order and takes it out. To check it's arrived, ring 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm weekdays and from 10am Saturday, or email [email protected] to change anything. Not right? Send us a photo the day it arrives and we fix it.
Siobhan, on the first time she heard "Park Avenue"
In 2007 and 2008, before Lily's Florist existed, Rockhampton was one of the ten places our little shop on Marine Parade sent the most flowers. The first woman who asked me for Park Avenue, I asked her which city (New York had crossed my mind, I'll admit it). She laughed. Rockhampton, love. The few orders that came unstuck (and I remember every one of them) were nearly always an address with no mobile beside it. And if your person goes quiet for a day or two, that's normal.
Once the flowers are handed over, they're theirs. That was always the idea.
