Same Day Flower Delivery Woree, House, School or Cabin

You're not going to make the birthday, so the flowers will. Our best-selling birthday flowers can be there today; for a house or a unit, put the full number and a mobile in the notes. For a lunch at the Cairns Golf Club on Links Drive, add the booking name.

We delivered to Tweed Golf Club in Banora Point all through our shop years, mostly birthdays, and Andrew once handed a seventieth birthday girl her roses mid-putt. She missed. She blamed the roses. (He says she was never going to sink it.)

For a club table, go boxed: the foam keeps the stems drinking till the last speech.

You've had the phone call and can't get to Woree this week. Sympathy flowers for home go to the family's house, and are often most welcome in the quiet week after the service. For the funeral, at the crematorium chapel on Foster Road or anywhere else, a wreath or sheath goes through the funeral director, so put the director's name and the service time in the notes. Flowers fix none of it, and still get looked at every time someone walks past. For the card: “Thinking of you all, with love.”

Anna, on lilies in a sympathy box

The Florists Choice Sympathy Arrangement usually carries white lilies, which open one after another over most of a week, in my experience. Pinch the orange anthers off as each one opens and the pollen won't mark the white roses.

A birthday or anniversary has landed mid-holiday, and you're at home. Send the flowers to the resort on Anderson Road for a day they're definitely staying, and put the booking name beside the cabin number in the notes. In our experience, reception tends to ring the cabin.

Anna's call: holiday-cabin aircon drops the air to around thirty percent humidity, and air that dry pulls water out of soft petals until the edges go papery. Vase away from the vent: roses do beautifully a step back from the draft, and carnations barely notice it.

Some orders fit none of the above. With five schools in Woree, the end of the school year brings thank-you flowers for teachers, which in our experience go to the school office, and graduation flowers for Year 12s, usually best sent home. Then there's the neighbour who fed the dog.

Anna has a view on this one. For a teacher's desk, send the Bright Arrangement With Chocolates: it sits in wet foam exactly as it arrives, holds its water for days without a top-up, and rides home on a car seat far steadier than a vase.
