Ringwood gets flowers today when you order before 2pm on a weekday or 10am on a Saturday; for later, the checkout calendar sets the day. Olivet Care on Rupert Street has secure dementia beds and couples' suites, so add the resident's full name and room number. Our Beautiful Pastels Bunch below covers a birthday without shouting about it. Buy from this page, or call us and someone on our Australian team will look after it.

Sent from away for an aunt turning 90
"Your website was amazing if you're sending flowers from away. Our Auntie who was turning 90 was thrilled with her boxed flowers and chocolates, thank you!"

Boxed was the right call at ninety. The foam holds the water, there is no vase to hunt for, and nothing tips when a visitor leans in to read the card. That is why a box travels so well into a home where nobody wants another job. The one thing it asks for: a cup of water poured into the foam every couple of days, before it dries out.
For someone on treatment, leave out the scent and the soil
Flowers for someone partway through cancer treatment need two things left out: scent and soil. Chemotherapy can make a strong smell turn the stomach, so oriental lilies, stock and freesia are the wrong stems for that room. Soil carries fungal spores that do nothing to most of us and real harm to someone whose white cells are down, which is why oncology wards tend to refuse potted plants, and many take no flowers at all.
At home, cut flowers are fine. Unscented roses, gerberas and lisianthus, with the water changed every two days. Vase water breeds bacteria inside a day in a warm room, and by day three you can often see it cloud. Clean water is most of the trick.
What happens between the checkout and the knock.
A weekday order in by then goes out the same day.
One of our partner florists near Ringwood makes it up from that morning's stock.
Maroondah Hospital and Ringwood Private are both in Ringwood East. Use that suburb in the address.
Care homes and hospitals take it at reception, Eastland shops at the counter, always with a full name.
At a house, a mobile in the notes saves a second trip.
Ready? Choose hospital flowers
Every Ringwood order runs through these steps, and for a hospital order the third is the one that catches people out.
Ringwood's flowers go to care homes on and off Maroondah Highway, to the hospitals over the line, and to birthday flowers for Mum at a house somewhere in between.
Mum and Dad have moved into Olivet on Rupert Street together, and their anniversary is coming up. One arrangement for the two of them says more than two.
Put both their names and the room in the notes. In our experience reception takes the flowers from the florist and the staff walk them through. Our anniversary flowers carry a card like “All these years and still sharing a room. Happy anniversary.”
Anna's pick: roses and lisianthus, kept low and round, so the arrangement can sit on the table between two armchairs and neither of them has to look around it.
A friend is in hospital and the message just says Ringwood. Maroondah Hospital on Davey Drive and Ringwood Private on Mt Dandenong Road are both in Ringwood East, so put that suburb in the address, with the ward and the full name.
Maroondah runs a large adult mental health service, and some units may not take flowers, so check with the ward. Ringwood Private also runs radiation oncology, and for someone partway through treatment the house is often the better address. In the shop years I once drove a get-well bunch to Tweed Hospital that was meant for John Flynn, up the road at Tugun. The note said “the hospital”. Our get-well flowers and blue flowers suit the bedside. “Thinking of you. Back on your feet soon.”
Keep it small. A bedside table already holds a water jug, a phone and the remote.
Year 12 is finishing at Aquinas College on Great Ryrie Street, and you want the moment marked. For a teacher, the front office with their full name and faculty. For a student, the house that evening, because the last day of Year 12 is not a day anyone waits around at the office.
Our graduation flowers suit the student, and thank-you flowers the teacher who got the class there.
Sunflowers suit an eighteen-year-old. Carry them upright, though. Laid flat on a car seat, the heavy head droops.
A new job, a hard week, a neighbour who fed the dog. Plenty of orders never fit a heading, and you do not need one.
Anna's pick: our yellow flowers. Yellow reads cheerful without being loud, and as it ages it fades softly instead of marking, so the bunch still looks good on day six.

Olivet on Rupert Street or Regis on Maroondah Highway: the resident's full name and room, and both names for a couple. Maroondah Hospital or Ringwood Private: Ringwood East, the ward and the full name. A shop at Eastland: the store. Aquinas College: the teacher and their faculty.
Reception at a care home or hospital, the counter at Eastland, the front office at a school, and at a house whoever is home. Before 2pm on a weekday, out the same afternoon.
Once it is paid for, the order goes to one of our partner florists near Ringwood that day, and they build it from the stock they bought that morning. Where a stem in the photo is not available, they keep to the colour and the size.
If anything arrives wrong, a photo the same day lets us put it right. We are on 1300 360 469 from 7am to 6pm on weekdays and from 10am on Saturdays, and changes go to [email protected].
When your mum is in for treatment the thank-you often never comes, and I learnt on the phones not to read anything into that. She is tired, the phone is in a drawer, and a nurse has put the flowers where she can see them. Now and then the flowers reach the ward the morning after she has gone home, which is why a home address in the notes is worth adding. Someone will ring you about it eventually. Probably her sister.
On a long stay, the flowers on the bedside table are often the one thing in the room that came from home.
