Thank you, Heeni. Matching the website photo exactly is harder than it looks from the outside. Every bunch is rebuilt by hand from what's on the bench that morning rather than pulled off a shelf ready-made, so coming out the same as the picture takes a florist with the right stock and a good eye. I showed Anna your photo, our florist of fifteen-plus years. She went straight to the gerbera. Hollow stem, that one, and the first thing to droop if a bunch has been rushed or left dry along the way. Yours standing up straight tells her it was conditioned properly before it went out. Birtinya is the hospital suburb up there on the Sunshine Coast, and a bunch arriving in its own vase means nobody on the ward is hunting for one. Good to hear it suited the patient. Thanks for writing.
