Shop ByScoresby Flower Delivery Today, to the House or School
Scoresby can have flowers today: get the order in before 2pm on a weekday or 10am on a Saturday, or choose any later date at checkout. Our 3 Wrapped Gerberas below are a cheerful thank you or birthday. For a teacher at Scoresby Primary School on Ingrid Street, their name and class are all the office needs. Checkout is quick; if you'd rather talk it through, call us and an Australian team member will take it down.

In a Chinese household, a chrysanthemum on a birthday says the wrong thing
Anna, qualified florist | on what a colour means at the door
Close to one Scoresby resident in five has Chinese ancestry, and in that tradition the chrysanthemum belongs at a funeral. White and yellow ones together are the funeral flower. The same stem that reads as cheerful and long-lasting to most Australians reads as grief on a Chinese birthday table.
Red runs the other way. It is the colour of luck and celebration, and it has no place at a Chinese funeral. When I was putting together birthday work for Chinese families, red and pink roses went in and the chrysanthemums stayed in the bucket. If you do not know the family's background, ask someone who does, or choose roses, gerberas or lilies in warm colours, which sit well on almost any table in this suburb.

Two lines for each, all under fifteen words. Copy one or change it.
Happy birthday, Mum. Wishing you a long life and good health.
Another year, and still the best cook in the family.
Thank you for a wonderful year. From all of Grade 4.
You made Year 12 survivable. Thank you.
Happy birthday from everyone on the second floor.
Good luck in the new job. The office will be quieter.
Rest up. Dinner is coming on Thursday.
Thinking of you. Take it one day at a time.

The card is the part they keep after the flowers have gone, so it is worth the extra thirty seconds.
Offices, School Gates and a Week on the Couch
Scoresby is houses and business parks, so the flowers split between birthdays at home and desks at work. For a friend, our birthday flowers for a friend cover most of it.
A Desk in Caribbean Business Park
It is a colleague's birthday or a farewell, the team has chipped in, and someone has to organise it. Give the company name, the building and when reception closes; our florists report that reception usually takes them and rings through.
I learnt the closing-time part in the shop years, arriving at an office at five past five with a birthday bunch and a locked glass door. The cleaner took it in. I never found out if it made it. Our celebration flowers suit the desk.
Anna, on office air
Carnations and roses hold up under office air conditioning from Monday to Friday, as long as the vase sits away from the vent.
End of Term at St Jude’s and Scoresby Secondary
It is the last week of term in December and the class wants something for the teacher before the holidays. St Jude the Apostle School is on George Street, beside the church, and Scoresby Secondary College is on Cavell Street.
Name the school, the teacher and the class; the office takes it in, in our experience, and gets it to the classroom. Our thank-you flowers come in sizes one person can carry to the car.
Anna's pick: a wrapped bunch with its own water pack, because a teacher carries it home on the last day and may not find a vase until the evening.
Home From Hospital and Stuck on the Couch
They are home after an operation, and the next fortnight is the lounge room and daytime television. Send to the house once they are home; they will see the flowers all day there.
A mobile in the notes means the driver can ring ahead and nobody has to hurry to the door. Our get-well flowers come in sizes that suit a coffee table, and “Get well soon. The couch is yours for a fortnight” says plenty.
In a small lounge room, oriental lilies can be a lot of scent. Asiatic lilies give the same look with none of it.
If You Still Cannot Decide, Go Red
Plenty of people get to the bottom of the page still unsure, and that is fine. Here is the shortcut.
Anna's pick, for anything but a funeral: red flowers, especially roses. In a Chinese home red reads as luck and celebration, and in every other home it reads as a classic.

Birthday Flowers for HimBefore 2pm, the Right Building, the Right Name
The cutoffs
2pm on a weekday gives the florist the afternoon to make it and deliver it.
10am on a Saturday, because Saturday deliveries tend to be done by early afternoon.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
For the notes
A business: the company, the building, and when reception closes. St Jude the Apostle on George Street: say church or school, as they sit side by side. A shop in Scoresby Village: the shop name. A house: the side gate if the front is locked.
Who signs
Reception at a workplace, the school office for a teacher, and whoever comes to the door at a house. In by 2pm, there by the end of the afternoon.
The Afternoon After You Order
Your order reaches one of our partner florists near Scoresby the same day. They make it from that morning's stock, and if a stem from the photo has not come in, they match it as closely as they can on colour and size.
Something not right? Send us a photo that day. Ring 1300 360 469, weekdays from 7am until 6pm and Saturdays from 10am, or email [email protected] with any change.
Siobhan, on Friday afternoons and quiet phones
From my years on the phones, the hiccup that came up most with workplace orders was reception closing early on a Friday, so the bunch sat in a back room until Monday. Put the closing time in the notes and it rarely happens. And if the person at home does not ring to say thank you straight away, give them a day. People who are unwell are slow on the phone, and that is all it usually means.
A desk birthday is a small thing in a long week, and people still remember who organised it.
