Shop ByOrder Same Day Flowers to Airdmillan, Farmhouse or Funeral
Flowers can be delivered in Airdmillan this afternoon. Order before 2pm on a weekday and they go to the farmhouse, a house out on Beach Road, or wherever they're needed; after 2pm, just pick the day at checkout. We've been delivering across the Burdekin since 2007. Send the Australian Native Arrangement for a birthday or the Blissful Botanics Arrangement for sympathy from our same-day range below, or call us and one of our friendly, Australian-based team will help you choose.

Which flowers hold up best in a warm Airdmillan kitchen
Anna, qualified florist | the fruit bowl problem
For a house without aircon, I'd pick natives. Proteas and leucadendron hold their heads in the heat, and neither minds what's sitting on the kitchen bench.
What's on the bench matters in the Burdekin from about mid-November, when a tray of mangoes sits ripening by the sink. Ripening fruit gives off ethylene, and flowers read it as the signal to finish: carnations curl and lilies drop their youngest buds. Keep those in a different room from the fruit and they're fine. The florist I trained under in North Carolina wouldn't let an apple past the cool room door. Same gas, same reason.
Same-Day Flowers for a Birthday, a Funeral or a Homecoming
Pick the occasion below and we'll point you to the right flowers, with a fourth card for when nothing fits. In a warm farmhouse, our native flowers suit all of them.
Birthday Flowers on the Day, Even If They're at the Beach
You've got the date and the address right, and they might still be down at the water when the flowers turn up. In the summer of 2008 I took a birthday bunch to a house on Wooyung Road, a coastal spot south of Pottsville with about as many people as Airdmillan. Nobody home. A neighbour pointed down the beach track, so I handed them over on the sand, in my good sandals (mistake), to a very surprised lady in a sun hat. A phone number in the notes saves all of that. Start with our best-selling birthday flowers.
A hand-tied bunch on a hot step has only the water in its wrap. The Bright Arrangement With Chocolates sits in wet foam, so it keeps drinking until someone's back, and the roses stay up.
Sympathy Flowers to the Service or the Family Home
Someone has died and you can't be there. Flowers can go to the service, which is most likely in Ayr (put the funeral director and the service time in the notes), or to the house in the days after, once the visitors thin out. If you're not sure which, the house rarely goes wrong: see our sympathy flowers for the home, or our funeral flowers for the service. On the card, "Thinking of you all, with love" is enough.
From Anna, on white in a warm house
White suits the service and the house alike, and it shows every mark first. Keep it out of the afternoon sun and it stays clean the longest.
Send Get Well Flowers to the House Once They're Discharged
They've been in Townsville University Hospital and now they're home, or nearly. Once there's a discharge date, send get well flowers to the house. In my years on the phones, the bunch that went to the ward the day before discharge was the one left behind. Something bright from our yellow flowers suits a homecoming, and on the card, "Glad you're home. Take it slow."
Anna's call: gerberas have hollow stems and lean in a warm room, which is why the 3 Gerberas In A Vase suit a homecoming: the glass gives them a wall to rest on. Change the water every couple of days and they keep going.
Let the Florist Choose This One
Plenty of orders don't fit a heading: a new job, the end of the cane harvest, a long week. Our Florist's Choice range is for exactly those.
Anna's pick when there's no brief
The Florist's Choice Bunch is built from whatever came in best that morning, and with no theme to match, the florist can put some personality into it. In the dry tropics that tends to mean stems that handle heat.

Shop Arrangements That Can WaitAirdmillan Road, Beach Road and the Number on the Gate
Cutoffs
2pm weekdays, so the florist has time to build it and get it out before the afternoon's gone.
10am Saturday, because florists close early on a Saturday.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
What the notes need
The suburb exactly as they write it. Plenty of houses on Airdmillan Road have Ayr addresses, while the coast end of Beach Road is Airdmillan. Then the road number and a mobile.
Who receives it
Whoever's there to take it. If nobody is, our florists tend to leave it in the shade, and a better spot named in the notes beats a guess. The earlier it's ordered, the earlier it lands.

Quiet After a Delivery Usually Means They're Busy
If they don't ring straight away, they're probably out on the farm or down at the beach. Silence is usually good news, and it's still the hardest bit of sending from a distance. To change anything, email [email protected] or call 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm weekdays, from 10am Saturday.
Andrew, on hot steps and mobile numbers
When an order out to addresses like these goes wrong, it's usually nobody home and a hot step. I learned that delivering around the Tweed from 2006 to 2009, on verandahs where someone was meant to be waiting. The notes fix most of it. For the rest, ring us the same day, send a photo, and we fix it.
However it lands, they'll know someone was thinking of them.
