Parramatta Park Flower Delivery Same Day

It is their birthday, they will be at work when the flowers arrive, and nobody else is home. Four in ten Parramatta Park households are one person living alone (2021 Census), so birthday flowers for a friend here often land with nobody home, and the notes do the work.

I learnt how much the notes matter in 2007, on Florence Street in Tweed Heads, delivering to a nurse who lived alone in one of the unit blocks. She had come off a night shift at Tweed Hospital, opened the door in an eye mask, said a very polite thank you, shut it, and rang the shop that afternoon to ask if she had dreamt it. So: the unit number, a mobile, and whether they work nights. Flowers on an empty step are a bit sad, and they are still the first thing they see when they get home.

An arrangement makes the wait easiest, because the stems sit in soaked floral foam and keep drinking all afternoon. The Florists Choice Birthday Arrangement suits a late finisher.

Someone is in for an operation or a few nights, and all you have is a hospital name off a text. Check which of the two it is, and if they will be home by the weekend, send get well flowers to the house. With hospital flowers, in our experience the ward desk takes them in, so the ward name does more work than the bed number. For the card: "Thinking of you. Up and about soon, I hope."

Anna, on the vase nobody on the ward has

A ward rarely has a spare vase, so send an arrangement and the box is the vase. The foam holds the water but dries from the top in a warm room, so over a longer stay press a finger into it and pour slowly if it feels dry. The Gorgeous White Arrangement suits a bedside.

An anniversary, a first month, or you just owe them one. At an office, reception usually signs for them, and in our experience the whole floor knows by lunch; at home, the notes from the birthday card above apply. Start with romantic flowers or an anniversary bunch.

Anna's call: flowers at work make a moment in front of people, and at an empty house nobody sees them arrive. Deep reds hold their colour better than whites or yellows, so a Single Rose With Chocolates And Teddy keeps its colour for days.

A new job, a lease finally signed, a sorry, a plain missing you. None of them has a heading, and you do not need one. Anna has a view on these.

The Lovely Lilac & Lime Bunch is soft enough for a sorry and bright enough for a new job. Keep it off a west-facing windowsill, where sunlight breaks down the purple pigment and the petals fade pink in a couple of days. More in our purple flowers.
