It was a stay to remember for some patients at Hawke's Bay Hospital after receiving surprise flowers.
The 10 posies, made and delivered by Middlelyns Florist owner Caitlyn Frost, were distributed by theatre nurses to patients late last week.
"This is the first time I have done it for patients," Frost said.
"I was delivering some flowers to the maternity unit for an order when I realised the hospital was in a sort of lockdown of its own.
"I decided to make 10 posies and gave them to the nurses who gave them to people in day surgery.
