Florists are experts in many areas  but they cannot read minds. So if you have a specific flower or colour preferences be sure to communicate that to your florist and do not worry if you are unfamiliar with the names of the thousands of flowers available. By following a few simple steps you can order flowers from a florist with confidence.

* When ordering floral gifts. describe the recipients personality type as well as his or her favourite hobbies or colours if you know them. Your Florist can match the floral arrangement with the recipients personality.

* Tell your Florist if the gift is for a special occasion (Birthday,Anniversary or other personal milestone). He or She can offer suggestions on how to best celebrate with flowers.

* If the flowers are for decorating or entertaining, describe the environment where the arrangement will be placed so your florist can create an arrangement that compliments the style and colours of your home.

* Consider bringing in your own vase or container for an added personal touch. Ask the Florist for specific colours or colour themes.

* Let your florist know if you prefer a mixed Floral arrangement or an arrangement made up of just one flower type.

* Provide your Florist with the necessary basic information- The name, full address and phone number of the recipient,the delivery date,your card message and payment information.

Whether sending flowers across the country or around the corner, your florist provides the expertise ,convenience and service to days on the go consumers are looking for.

Each state and territory in Australia, and the nation, has selected an endemic Australian native flower as its emblem:

Only two state emblems can be easily found as cut flowers: the Waratah (NSW) and the Red and Green Kangaroo Paw from WA. The national floral emblemAcacia pycnantha can sometimes be found as a ‘flowering foliage’ crop in spring.

NSW - The Waratah

Botanical Name: Telopea speciosissima

The Waratahs are borne on the waratah tree,which is native to eastern NSW. Other species that are sometimes used as cut flowers are T.oreades found in Gippsland Vic and T truncata found in Tasmania. The latter two species are not as showy as T speciosissima and are more commonly used as garden plants or in breeding programs. Waratahs are a much loved spring flower in Australia particularly in NSW where they are the state flower. They are also the official flower of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

Waratahs bear large red flowers in spring. Each flower head is surrounded by red to bronze bracts and is made up of dozens of individual florets that open from the outside in. The tightly packed buds in the centre of the flower can often have a blue appearance. Each thick woody stem bears one flower at the top,surrounded by slightly silky green leaves. Selection breeding has resulted in white,cream or pink flowers but these are rare as cut flowers.

Waratahs are only available for a few weeks, from late winter to spring.

What to look for:

*Flowers with the least number of open florets, as long as some are open

* Leaves that are fresh and green

* Avoid flowers with a blue tinge

Flower Care:

* Keep cool whenever possible

*Remove leaves from lower half of stem

* Re cut 2cm from each stem with sharp secateurs and place in cold water

* Never bash or split stem ends

* No preservative, place in cold water with a few drops of bleach. The sugar preservatives cause excess nectar production

* Waratahs are very sensitive to ethylene.Keep them away from fruit, car exhausts and cigarette smoke.

Interesting Facts:

Telopea is derived from the Greek telopos meaning seen from afar and refers to the great distance from which the crimson flowers are discernible. The specific name speciosissima is of the Latin adjective speciosus meaning beautiful or handsome. Waratah the aboriginal name for the species was adapted by early settlers at Port Jackson, which was renamed Sydney.
