We Often Get Asked - What's the Best Flowers to Send Someone in Hospital?

Absolutely Fabulous
The phones at St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets and our specialist Perth gift basket business Dial A Hamper constantly ring throughout the day, seemingly never to stop. Anne, Amanda, Angela, Tina, Felice and Jeremy all man the phones at St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets throughout the day, so get ready for one of them to answer when you give us a call!!

One of the recurring questions we all get asked is what's the best flowers to send some one in a Perth hospital? Do we send an arrangement or a bouquet?

We recommend sending flowers to friends and colleagues that are in Perth hospitals that are in a vase (whether it be a glass vase or a ceramic vase) or flowers in a box arrangement (a flower arrangement in oasis or other type of floral foam thats contained in its own cardboard box). Bouquets look great but often there are no vases in the Perth hospitals to put them in in.



St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets Perth have a large range of Flowers and Gift Baskets for delivery to all Perth Hospitals. Due to the number of orders we receive for most of the hospitals, we often visit all Perth Hospitals a couple of times a day.

You can order online at http://www.stannesflorist.com.au/ , call us in the shop on 08 9388 8844 or stop by at the shop situated at 263 Hay Street Subiaco Western Australia.

About Us Here At St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets Perth

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

You can order you gift baskets, flowers, roses and gifts for Perth delivery on our secure Perth Online Florist Website at http://www.stannesflorist.com.au/ , visit us at the shop at 263 Hay Street Subiaco or call us on 08) 9388 8844

Free Delivery Doesn't Always Mean You're Getting A Better Deal Or Saving Money.....

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!!!

New Potted Plants and Orchids Just In From Our Grower - Help Someone Get Over Their Mid Week Hump!

We have just done the rounds to our Perth Plant Growers, explored every corner of their greenhouses and glass hot houses and have loaded the truck with a large variety of the best available potted flowering plants, phalaenopsis orchids, non flowering potted plants and cymbidium orchids currently available in Perth.



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.

Potted Plants are a great present to give anyone, both male or female. The best thing about sending a potted plant to someone is that if they are given just a little bit of love and attention, they will keep on flowering and growing!

Caring for your Cut Flowers delivered by St Anne's Florist and Gift Baskets

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.
