Red Rock Flower Delivery, Same Day

They are home from the hospital in Coffs Harbour and back in their own bed, and you are a long way off trying to be useful. The florist leaves the get well flowers with whoever answers or in the shade by the door, never on a sunny step. We learnt that at Hastings Point in 2007: nobody home, west-facing step, and by four the bunch looked like it had been swimming.

Anna on the stems

Nothing heavily scented for someone resting, and a boxed arrangement, so nobody hunts for a vase.

The birthday is Thursday and you are not making it up the coast. Red Rock is full of couples who have finished with the school run, and the birthdays we send here run to the sixtieth more than the twenty-first. Nobody home is the risk on a village street, so give us a mobile the recipient answers and the florist rings before the drive.

Anna's call: a tall bunch that reads generous from across the room, deep colours low and pale on top.

Someone in Red Rock has died and the family is at the house, because there is no chapel in the village. The flowers people want are sympathy flowers for the home, for the kitchen bench, where the neighbours are already leaving casseroles. Put the family name and street number in the notes; letterboxes here carry numbers and rarely names. "Thinking of you all" is enough on the card.

Whites and creams, built as sympathy natives with the soft stems inside, because the woody outer ring takes the breeze and the bunch lasts the week.

Half the orders for a village like this fit no heading. Someone bought the house next door, someone's dog died, someone dragged your kids out of a rip at Little Beach.

For all of those Anna would send natives. Banksia, leucadendron and waxflower take the salt air in their stride, and the cones dry on a shelf months after the soft flowers have gone.
