Ordered from the United States. Delivered in Doncaster.
"I live in the US and send my Australian girlfriend flowers, which she loves, via Lilly's who are near her home. She always enjoys them and the pictures she sends me, I cannot always be there when she's received them, look wonderful. I am always happy to see my girlfriend happy and Lilly's always delivers. My girlfriend also noted their polite demeanor when delivering. I highly recommend them to all looking for flowers for a loved one."

Siobhan and Andrew replied
Thank you. The thing that stood out to me is your girlfriend noticing how the person at the door was with her, because that's the one moment in all of this that's face to face, and it's the one nobody usually mentions. You order from the US, a florist near her home in Doncaster makes it up, and someone she's never met carries it to her door. That person is the only human she meets in the whole chain, and that they were kind about it is lovely. It's their own doing, mind, not anything we can take credit for. You not being able to be there, and getting her happiness back in pictures a bit later instead, is its own particular thing, a reward at a delay. Sorry we're six months slow saying it but we have many 1000's of reviews to get back to and it's just the 2 of us. Thank you, for the recommendation and for sending her flowers the way you do.
Air conditioning dries a bunch faster than a hot day does
Anna, qualified florist | on units, dry air and how deep the water goes
More than a quarter of Doncaster homes are flats or apartments, and units tend to run the air conditioning right through summer. Conditioned air holds humidity low, and it pulls water out of a petal faster than the stem can replace it. Hydrangeas feel it first; carnations and roses, with tougher petals, barely notice.
The fix is water depth. A dry room wants the vase filled higher than you would bother with in a cool house, and topped up every day, with the vase away from the vent. It took me a summer of watching good bunches dry from the edges in before I stopped blaming the heat. If a hydrangea does flag, half an hour face-down in a sink of cool water brings it back, because the head drinks through its petals as well as its stem.
Manningham Road, a Unit or the Shopping Centre
Choose where the Doncaster flowers are going
Each tab is a real kind of address here, with the line the driver needs.
MannaCare runs two homes a few doors apart: Cassia House at 371 and Melaleuca Lodge at 383. Name the house, then the resident's full name and room.
The unit number, the building name if it has one, and how the intercom lists the resident. A mobile that answers saves a wait in the foyer.
For someone working in a store at Westfield Doncaster, the store name and their first name. Flowers go to the shop counter during trading hours.
The chapel at 816 Doncaster Road, on the corner of D'Arcy Street, seats about seventy-five. Note when the service starts and whose it is.
Know the address? Choose birthday flowers for mum
Doncaster mixes care homes, units, a big shopping centre and chapels, and each one wants a different line in the notes.
From Overseas, From Interstate, From Down the Road
Plenty of flowers into Doncaster are ordered by someone who is not there: family overseas, a partner interstate, grandchildren across town. Our mixed bunches are made near the address, however far away the order comes from.
Sending Love From Another Country
You are in another time zone, the date may not even match hers, and you want her to open the door to something today. The 2pm cutoff is Melbourne time, so work it out before you pay.
Add her mobile to the notes, and ask her for the photo; it is the only way you will see them. Our anniversary flowers work for the big dates.
Anna's pick: roses for the big dates. The ones worth having are those whose green sepals have folded right back from the bud, the sign the rose has the sugar to open fully in her vase over the next few days.
Two MannaCare Homes, a Few Doors Apart
Mum is in care on Manningham Road and you know the street but not the building. MannaCare has Cassia House and Melaleuca Lodge close together, so name the one she is in.
Siobhan and I did hundreds of nursing-home deliveries in the shop years, and I once walked a bunch into the right home and the wrong wing, where a very kind man accepted it on everyone's behalf. Our 90th birthday flowers suit the big days, and “Thinking of you, Mum, see you on the weekend” suits the rest.
Anna, on a shared lounge
Lounges and corridors in care are shared air, so heavily scented stems like oriental lilies and stock suit a private room with the door shut better than a shared one.
A Service at Tobin Brothers on Doncaster Road
The funeral is at Tobin Brothers on Doncaster Road and you cannot be there. Flowers can go to the chapel or to the family home afterwards.
For the chapel, give the service time and the family name, and our florists tend to get chapel flowers in early. Our funeral flowers and sympathy lilies both suit the room. “With deepest sympathy to you all” is plenty on a card.
Many Chinese families keep to white and yellow, with no red at all. For a Greek Orthodox family, a white wreath, and the memorials at forty days, three months, six months and a year are occasions for flowers too.
No Heading Fits the Reason, and That Is Fine
A good report, a new job, a hard week, a thank-you to a neighbour. You do not need an occasion to send flowers.
Anna's pick: one of our arrangements, which arrive in their own container. In a unit with no vase to hand, that is the difference between flowers on the bench and flowers in the sink.

Before 2pm today and it is with Mum this afternoon.
Thinking of You FlowersCutoffs and the One Line Each Address Needs
Same day
Weekdays before 2pm, Melbourne time, so the florist can build it and deliver it that afternoon.
Saturdays before 10am, as Saturday is a short day for most florists, in our experience.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
In the notes
MannaCare: Cassia House or Melaleuca Lodge, then the room. Domaine on Victoria Street: the villa or apartment number. An apartment: the unit and how the intercom lists them. Tobin Brothers: the service time. Westfield Doncaster: the store.
Who takes it
Care staff at the homes, the chapel staff at Tobin Brothers, the counter at a store, and at a unit whoever answers the intercom. Inside the cutoff, it is with them this afternoon.
After You Click Pay
The order goes from us to a partner florist close to Doncaster that day, who builds it from what came into their cool room that morning. Where a stem from the photo is not available, they use the closest match they have.
Spot a problem? Photograph it that day and we will put it right. Ring 1300 360 469 on weekdays 7am to 6pm, Saturdays from 10am, or email [email protected] to change anything.
Siobhan, on ordering from the other side of the world
So many of the calls I took were from people overseas, awake at two in the morning their time, wanting to know if the flowers had got there. Most of the time the recipient was simply out, or the flowers were waiting with the staff because Mum was at an appointment. If you do not hear back today, that is usually all it is. A day of silence from Doncaster is normal, however long it feels from the other side of the world.
You will not be in the room when they arrive, and the flowers still are.
