Background to Fathers Day

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.

Native Flowers - Some Facts About Them. Dial A Hamper Stocks Native Australian Flowers For Perth Delivery



Australian Native Flowers are a great looking long lasting often beautifully scented flowers to have delivered to someone in Perth.

With over 25,000 species of flowering plants, Australia is only matched by South Africa in the abundance and diversity of its native flowers. There are so many flowering plants in Australia that they haven’t even named them all yet – some botanists estimate there are over 30,000 species. Many of these are endemic, which means they are found nowhere else. Native flowers have been used to decorate Australian homes since settlement, but became more popular during Federation (1901) and the Bicentennial celebrations (1988). Now many forms are used as cut flowers, both locally and internationally.

All states throughout Australia are home to distinctive native flowers, but Western Australia is the centre for this amazing diversity. There are over 12,000 species listed as endemic to WA, and many more are yet to be described. Many of the native flower species commonly used as cut flowers originated in WA, such as kangaroo paw, most Banksias, Dryandra, Geleznowia, and Geraldton waxflower. The wildflower season in WA occurs each year from July to October, and is considered one of the top botanical wonders of the world. Flowers start blooming north of Geraldton in July and slowly progress south. There are many reserves and bush areas along the coast and east into the drier areas, and in some places there are fields of everlastings and other wildflowers as far as you can see. The Wildflower Society of Western Australia website is full of information and has a great map of viewing locations around Perth for those who are interested.



Some South African flowers are often mistaken for Australian natives, which is not surprising as these two countries have very similar climates and the flowers of each country are similar in structure. Proteas, Leucadendron, Leucospermum and Erica are all South African natives that are sometimes mistaken for Australian locals. The tea-tree (Leptospermum) is also often thought of as Australian, which many garden tea-tree varieties are. But the most common cut flower tea-trees are bred from Leptospermum scoparium, which is a New Zealand species.


Most native flowers have woody stems and these will need to be re-cut with sharp secateurs, and immediately placed in water. Never bash or split the woody stem ends. As a general rule, keep cool whenever possible – there are no tropical Australian natives used regularly as cut flowers. Strip all the leaves from the lower half of each stem, then re cut at least 2 cm off each stem and place in cold water immediately. A preservative is recommended, but not essential. It is important to replace vase water with fresh preservative every day as all natives are thirsty flowers. Most native flowers are not sensitive to ethylene gas, but there are two notable exceptions. Waxflower and Waratah are both sensitive, so keep them away from fruit, car exhausts and cigarette smoke.

Dial A Hamper always has available a large range of Australian Native Flowers that are available for Flower Delivery Perth. You can order online at http://www.dialahamper.com.au/, call us in our Perth Florist Shop on 08 9381 9191 or come into the Flower Shop in Perth at 111 Newcastle Street, Perth Western Australia 6000

Despite the worldwide cultivation of Roses, Roses are often considered a luxury. Roses which are grown commercially are cut in the early morning or late in the day when the sun is low in they sky, cut on a 45 degree angle and placed straight into a bucket of water. The buckets are filled high up the stems of the roses as Cut Roses, especially those with large flower heads are
really thirsty.

The best commercial Roses are those that are grown in sunny hot climates at altitude, translating to hot long days and colder nights that are essential for Roses to produce at their maximum.


Roses are the most popular flower to send at Valentines Day, especially Long Stem Red Roses.
