Flower Delivery Villawood: Same Day

This one catches people off guard. You bring your new arrangement home, put it on the kitchen bench right next to the fruit bowl because that is where there is room. Three days later the roses are drooping and the petals are starting to curl. It looks like the florist sent rubbish. Most of the time, the florist did nothing wrong.

Fruit gives off ethylene gas as it ripens. Bananas and apples are the worst for it. Ethylene is a chemical trigger that tells the flower petals they are done. The closer your arrangement sits to ripening fruit, the faster that signal reaches the stems. I took thousands of calls over fifteen years from people convinced they had received bad flowers. We would ask where the arrangement was sitting. Nine calls out of ten, right next to the fruit bowl.

Move the arrangement a metre away. That is genuinely all it takes. The kitchen bench is fine as long as there is some distance from the fruit and the vase is not catching direct afternoon sun. Villawood gets serious western Sydney heat in summer, and a spot away from the window will add days to how long those flowers last. A $75 arrangement given the right position will outlast a $150 arrangement sitting next to bananas in a sunny window. I have seen it happen more times than I can count.
