Are Your Flowers For Perth Delivery In Temperature Controlled Flower Delivery Vans?!
As the Perth weather starts to warm up ( who would believe a 36.3 degree day mid October in Perth!), it is even more important to make sure that the Perth Florist you order Flowers for Perth Delivery has a temperature contolled airconditioned delivery van that is able to deliver your Flowers just as they left the Perth Flower shop you have ordered from!
Of late, the St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets delivery drivers have seen a number of contract flower couriers in vehicles not suitable for keeping flowers in for any amount of time let alone being delivered to Perth recipients. Our drivers cringe at the way the flowers are sitting in such an inappropriate vehicle in the hot Perth sun.
These vehicles are often dated family sedans not a commercial delivery van with a fully enclosed rear section, look to have no airconditioning, no window tinting to help protect and keep the flowers as cool as possible nor any foam inserts or the like to ensure the flowers don't move around whilst being transported.
When ordering Flowers for Perth Delivery, please make sure that the Florist in Perth that you are looking to place your order with has their own couriers to deliver their flowers and in a temperature controlled airconditioned delivery van! That way you know the florist shop has some control over the whole delivery process, ensuring that the flowers are delivered in the best possible condition.
St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets has 3 company owned flower delivery vans that have been specifically set up for the delivery of Flowers across Perth, Western Australia. Don't let the item you have ordered for a person in Perth to be delivered by someone who doesn't take the greatest of care with your Flowers, Gift Hamper or Gift Basket! This includes being in an airconditioned commercial delivery van, don't accept anything less!
You can order your Perth Flowers, Perth Gift Basket or Perth Gift Hamper online 24 hours a day at http://www.stannesflorist.com.au/, call us in the shop on 08 9388 8844 or come into our Perth Flower Shop at 263 Hay Street, Subiaco Western Australia 6008

Roses Are One Of the Worlds Most Popular Flowers To Send
Since early times,. the Rose has evolved to become the most cherished and cultivated flowers on the planet. The Rose has a special place in most peoples hearts and is considered to be the worlds favourite flower, with billions sold around the world annually.
Roses are versatile for florists as they come in so many different varieties, colours and sizes. Roses are graded according to the length of the stem, and when grown commercially in Australia are grown in glass hot houses.
The rose flower if looked after correctly along the production process are long lasting and just look great in any arrangement. If you are lucky enough to receive roses, cut off at least 2.5 centimetres off the stem with a sharp knife or seceuters at an angle and remove the lower foliage that may end up sitting in water in the vase you place them in.

What Flowers Do St Anne’s Florist Recommend to Send to Perth Hospitals?
Flowers are just the best thing to send someone in a Perth Hospital, they are so bright and cheerful!
As Vase availability at Perth Hospitals is often very limited, we recommend sending Flower Arrangements that are self contained in a Box
We do not recommend sending Flowers with a high level of fragrance as being in a confined space of a Hospital room, the smell often becomes overpowering – we don’t recommend sending Flowers such as Oriental Lilies.
A number of the High Dependency Wards, Intensive Care Units and Burns Wards do not accept flowers or plant material of any kind. We have Gift Hampers and Gift Baskets that are suitable to send to these wards. Please check with the relevant Perth Hospital to see if Flowers will be accepted on the Ward the recipient is on.

As the popularity of Online Shopping has increased, so to has the amount of Florists with website offering Online Flower Ordering. The ordering of flowers online is such a convenient way to order, it can be done quickly and securely from the comfort of your home, office or even in your car from your smart phone. The added benefit is that you often can see the flowers that you are ordering with a full description of them.
Consumers looking to order flowers for delivery need to be wary of the websites they order and buy flowers online from. With the explosion of Florists having websites, there has also been an explosion of websites created by Relay type businesses. We are rather unique in that we are a retail store whereby local orders placed with us either on line or by phone are actually completed and filled by our team of in house florists. We are NOT a third party distribution website relay business or call centre type operation whereby your order is taken by an operator (with no actual floral industry training or experience) with your order distributed to various third party florists with a 'management' fee taken. This translates to less flowers being able to be given by the third party florist accepting the order coupled with the fact that you are not dealing directly with the people that are designing and delivering the arrangement.
All florists employed by St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets have completed a Certificate in Floral Design (or its overseas equivalent), with extensive on the job training and experience ensuring that the highest standard of design is applied to all of our floral arrangements, Gift baskets and Gift hampers. Forming part of the St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets team are our three full time couriers, who weave our company owned vans throughout the Perth metropolitan area daily ensuring the flowers, gift baskets or gift hampers ordered arrive in the same great condition they leave our Subiaco Flower Shop.

Fathers Day is a day whereby people celebrate and thank their Fathers and Father figures for their involvement and contribution in their lives.
Many West Australians celebrate Fathers Day by showing their appreciation and thanks to their Fathers or Father figures. This appreciation is often shown by:
- The giving of a store bought or hand made greeting card.
- The giving of a Fathers Day Gift such as a gift hamper, gift basket, beer hamper, male pamper hamper, chocolate hamper. St Anne’s Florist has a large range of Fathers Day Gifts that are available for delivery across Perth.
- Going out for breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner to a Perth Café, Perth Restaurant, a park in Perth or Kings Park for a picnic, go to the beach or into Perth Hills to a National Park for a barbecue picnic.
- Going to the Perth Zoo, Swan River Foreshore for a walk or riding bikes.
Father’s Day is not a public holiday in Australia. It always falls on a Sunday, which is a day off for the majority of people. However, some shopping precincts and stores, as well as restaurants, hotels, bars and cafes will be busy on Perth Father’s Day 2011.
There are some suggestions that the idea of Father's Day may originate from pagan sun worship. There are branches of paganism that see the sun as the father of the universe. Father’s Day in Australia occurs on the first Sunday of September, Father’s Day in some countries is on the third Sunday of June, which is close to the solstice in June.
The idea of a special day to honor fathers and celebrate fatherhood was introduced from the United States said to be by a woman called Sonora Smart Dodd who was inspired by the Mother's Day celebrations and planned a day to honor fathers early in the 20th century. The first Father's Day was celebrated in Washington USA on June 19, 1910.

How To Keep Your Fresh Cut Flowers Lasting Longer
· Try and make sure that the flowers you buy are really fresh. When buying fresh flowers, choose flowers that are just starting to open and contain plenty of bus on the stem, the more buds the longer you will be able to enjoy them for! Avoid flowers that are wilting, or have yellowing leaves or stems, slimy stems or shrivelled disfigured buds. Don’t buy flowers that have been standing in the sun or exposed to car fumes, Always buy them from a shop that has kept them in a coolroom.
· Once purchased, take your flowers home very carefully as they bruise and damage really easily. Try and keep them cool and out of the hot sun, don’t leave them in a hot car
· Place flowers in a bucket of fresh clean water while you prepare the vase.
· Once home, prepare your vase making sure it is clean – the slimy bacteria in a vase shortens the life of your flowers. Fill your vase with clean water.
· Remove any lower leaves and shoots that will be sitting below the water line.
· With sharp secateurs or scissors, cut off about approximately 2-3 centimetres on an angle from the bottom of each stem.
· Arrange the flowers to your liking in the vase that contains fresh water.
· Position your flowers so that it is away from any direct sun, heaters and draughts. Don’t place near bowls of fruit or veggies as this will shorten the flowers life.
· Top up the water every couple of days or, if possible replace the water completely with fresh water. Its surprising how much flowers ‘drink’, so make sure they are topped up.
· Now that you have done all that you can to lengthen the life of your flowers, sit back and enjoy them!!

St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets is a wholly Western Australian family owned and operated business located in Subiaco, Perth Western Australia. St Anne's has been operating in excess of 40 years, having originally derived it's name from St Anne's Hospital Mount Lawley (now known as Mercy Hospital Mount Lawley).
We are rather unique in that we are a retail store whereby local orders placed with us either on line or by phone are actually completed and filled by our team of in house florists. We are NOT a third party distribution website relay business or call centre type operation whereby your order is taken by an operator (with no actual floral industry training or experience) with your order distributed to various third party florists with a 'management' fee taken. This translates to less flowers being able to be given by the third party florist accepting the order coupled with the fact that you are not dealing directly with the people that are designing and delivering the arrangement.
All florists employed by St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets have completed a Certificate in Floral Design (or its overseas equivalent), with extensive on the job training and experience ensuring that the highest standard of design is applied to all of our floral arrangements, gift baskets and gift hampers.
Forming part of the St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets team are our three full time couriers, who weave our company owned vans throughout the Perth metropolitan area daily ensuring the flowers, gift baskets or gift hampers ordered arrive in the same great condition they leave our Subiaco shop.
St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets source daily our floral stock from local high quality producers, though where not possible import items from overseas so as to fulfil the requirements of our customers.
St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets deliver daily over Perth Western Australia, Western Australia country, interstate including capital cities Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin, Hobart and Canberra as well as internationally through the Interflora network.

Don't get caught out!! There are many Florists around Perth and throughout the whole of Australia that offer 'Free Delivery' when you order flowers or gift baskets from them. Flower buyers need to be aware that often you are NOT getting a good deal at all!
In fact the money that you think is solely going into the value of the flowers, the retailers are taking out a delivery fee from the total amount paid without your knowledge. Or if they are not taking out a charge for delivery they will often use lower quality or less flowers or products to make up for not charging for delivery.
Can you imagine ordering flowers to send to a friend, colleague or loved one from a florist offering 'Free Delivery', you pay $100 for what you think should be a nice arrangement however the florist takes out some $15-$25 to cover their delivery to a suburb of Perth without your knowledge. The result is the recipient only receives flowers worth $75!! A lot smaller than the one you would of been expecting to be delivered!!!
The consumer needs to ask the florists who offers 'Free Delivery' the actual value and size of the arrangement or flower bouquet that will be sent out. As the saying goes 'there's never a free lunch', and in Floristry 'theres never free delivery', the consumer pays for it one way or the other!!
St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets Perth charge a delivery fee depending on the distance from our Subiaco florist shop - we are up front with the delivery fees payable so that the amount you pay for your flowers you actually receive!!!. If you order a $100 flower arrangement or Flower bouquet then that is what the recipient will receive, $100 worth of flowers!!!

Our various Perth plant growers take absolute pride in their growing, speaking to them about what's coming out of their hot and green houses you just can't help but be swept up with their enthusiam and passion for their job. This passion flows through into the great quality plants they produce and what we are able to provide our customers.

Cut Flower Care
This is a series of blog posts by St Annes Florist and Gift Baskets to assist our customers with caring for the various cut flowers and potted plants that we sell here at St Anne’s Florist and Gift Baskets Perth .
How can you keep your fresh flowers looking fabulous longer, just how they’ve been delivered by St Anne’s Florist and Gift Baskets? Here are some helpful tips to help your flowers last longer:
• Source the freshest, highest quality flowers available (St Anne’s Florist and Gift Baskets has this step already covered for you by sourcing from only the best flowers growers, we restock flowers daily at the markets to ensure that what we have in the shop is the freshest available).
• For arrangements in vases or self contained boxes please make sure that the water is topped up upon it being delivered to you, then check and keep topped up daily or at least every second day. This helps ensures your flowers to last longer.
• For flowers that are not contained within their own vase or self contained box trim all flower stems with sharp clean secateurs or scissors diagonally approx. 2-3cm’s from the bottom of the stem as soon as possible after receiving the flowers. By cutting the stems diagonally you are increasing the surface area in which the exposed cell capillaries can draw in water.
• Ethylene gas is released by decaying leaf and stem trimmings, ripening fruit, cigarettes and motor vehicle exhaust gases. So trim/strip all foliage/leaves that will sit below the intended vase water line. (Do not buy cut flowers from vendors who have flower stock displayed out front of shops by the roadside or that have been standing in the sun as these simply won’t last).
• Foliage on most flowers can be removed by simply grasping around the flower stem and then pulling downward gently. However hard stemmed or stems with thorns such as roses can be stripped using a small sharp knife pulled along the stem.
• Choose a clean vase for your flowers. (Dirty vases decrease the life of your flowers due to harmful bacteria shortening the life of your flowers). Clean your vase with water and a few drops of bleach, leave for a couple of hours and then scrub the vase clean.
• Do not use metallic vases as these react detrimentally with fresh cut flowers.
• Arrange your flowers in the most appropriate vase, fill the vase with water ensuring the water level does not go higher than the bottom of the foliage/leaves.
Now that you have your flowers in a suitable vase, the following points are just as important to maximize the vase life of your flowers:
• Keep your fresh flowers as cool as possible; out of direct sunlight; out of drafts, away from air-conditioning vents/units, away from heaters, away from lamps and strong lighting in close proximity.
• Keep your flowers away from all ripening fruit and vegetables. (see ethylene gas above)
• Re-cut stems approx 2-3cm’s from the bottom and replace water at least every second day (more often if possible and convenient to do so).
• When you are changing the water (as above) it is a good idea to scrub the vase clean with a diluted bleach solution at the same time. By changing the water and cleaning the vase regularly you are decreasing the levels of bacteria that detrimentally affect the vase life of your flowers.
• Remove any decaying stems, wilted or dead flowers that have ‘seen better days’.
• Sit back and absorb the beauty of fresh cut flowers.
By following the above steps, you are going to assist in maximizing the vase life of your fresh cut flowers that have been delivered to you by St Annes Florist and Gift Baskets Perth - the Perth Florist everyone knows and trusts.

This is part of St Annes Florist and Gift Baskets Blog series to assist our customers with caring for the various cut flowers and potted plants that we sell here at St Anne’s Florist and Gift Baskets Perth
St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets Perth sources top quality cymbidium orchids from a local Perth specialist cymbidium orchid grower, when quality plants are grown and bought it makes the care of your orchid alot easier and more fulfilling.
Cymbidium Orchid Care
Cymbidium orchids are hardy plants and are easy to grow, they are a great gift to send to some one as they flower spikes last for a long time and with the correct care will flower again next season. Cymbidium orchids like similar conditions to humans, temperatures in the 20’s (degree’s) humidity of about 50% and shade in the summer.
Most amateurs can grow orchids well but have difficulty in flowering them. This usually can be overcome by finding a position where the plant receives more light. A healthy well grown cymbidium orchid that is cared for correctly will produce flowers every year and a mature plant can produce from 10 to 20 flower spikes.
Best Position To Grow Your Cymbidium Orchid
Cymbidium orchids will be tolerant of full sun year round however will prefer a protected position away from the direct hot sun of summer. During the hot summer months especially here in Perth it is recommended to find a position where they will receive 50% sunlight. This can often be found under a gum tree or a similar tree with not too thick a canopy, under the eaves of your house (though remembering to keep water topped up as they wont be receiving any water apart from what you provide), under a pergola is great especially if it has 50% shade cloth cover.
It should be noted that too little sunlight on your cymbidium will result in a decrease in flowers being produced by the plant.
It is best to grow your cymbidium orchid off the ground, allowing airflow into the root ball and this also helps keep slugs, slaters and snails down.
Watering of your Cymbidium Orchid
Cymbidiums require watering all year round however this will vary according to the positioning of your orchid, the potting mix used, the temperature and winds, atmospheric conditions to mention a few factors. Plants that are left to dry out for extended periods will survive however flowering the following flowering season will be negatively affected.
In winter, once or twice a week should be sufficient, while in summer 3 or 4 times per week is recommended whilst at the height of summer daily or even twice daily watering may be required (preferably at night to help reduce the temperature). This drop in temperature assists in the production of flower spikes.
Thoroughly saturate the potting mix when watering, stopping when water comes out of the bottom of the pot. We find submerging the cymbidium in a bucket of water for a few hours really beneficial in soaking the potting medium, while also not wasting water.
Let the potting mix be the gauge as to whether more or less watering is required, if the top is moist or the pot cold watering probably isn’t required.
Fertilizing/ Feeding your Cymbidium Orchid
Like all plants, cymbidiums require regular feeding to help produce vibrant healthy plants with good flower production. A slow release fertilizer throughout the year will help the plant, products such as Osmocote Plus are recommended. Some half strength liquid fertilizer such as Thrive, Aquasol and the like a few times over the warmer summer months (from say September to May).
Don’t over do a high nitrogen content all purpose fertilizer as this will promote leaf growth whilst taking away from the flower spike production.
Re-Potting your Cymbidium Orchid
Healthy plants should grow 1 to 2 new bulbs every year off the previous year’s bulb growth. The pine barks often used in orchid potting mix breaks down over time, so re-potting is required every 2-4 years (depending on the size of plant, number of new bulbs and condition of potting mix).
When the plants get too large, with a number of bulbs dividing the plants may be necessary. When dividing, try and make every new plant contain 3 green bulbs. The old bulbs without leaves can be potted individually, and will normally produce a new shoot which will grow to a flowering plant.
Choose a plastic pot that doesn’t give the newly repotted plant too much room, enough room only for say 2- 3 years growth. Weathered pine bark is a great medium to plant your orchids in, they should be 10-15mm in size. You should never plant Cymbidiums into sand as this will destroy its roots..
The best time to divide plants is after flowering and in spring.
Diseases affecting your Cymbidium Orchid
The main disease and pest issue problem is fungal infection. This can be non existent if good air movement in the growing area is encouraged and the plants are not kept in a dark excessively wet area. Should fungal issues occur it may be prudent to minimize watering over a few week period, elevate the plant so it receives good airflow and treat with a sulphur or similar powder treatment.
Cymbidiums Orchids are a great looking, long lasting plant that if kept correctly will continue to produce over a long period of time. Its for this reason that its such a great plant to send to someone instead of cut fresh flowers with the Perth Florist evryone knows and trusts - St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets Perth.
