Same Day Flowers Delivery - Australia Wide!
Fountaindale sits back from the ocean, tucked into bushland between the highway and Narara Creek. Most people driving the M1 would never know it was there. I know it because Siobhan's parents Bill and Julie lived in Taree for years, which meant the Central Coast became the halfway point for family visits. We would come south from Kingscliff, they would drive down from Taree, and we would meet somewhere in the middle for lunch or a weekend together with the girls.
On one of those trips we took a wrong turn coming off the highway near Ourimbah and ended up winding through Fountaindale. Tall gums, quiet streets, the odd horse paddock. No shops, no traffic, just houses spread through the bush. It reminded me of the Tweed hinterland near where we live now. It felt like somewhere people choose because they want space.
We deliver flowers to Fountaindale. A partner florist in or close to the area will build your arrangement fresh that morning and bring it to the door. If you want the longer version of how two people with no flower experience ended up coordinating 800+ florists across Australia, our About Us page has it all. Andrew and Siobhan, family business, two kids, started the Lily's Florist network in 2009.
"Native arrangements do something that imported stems can't. People think the gift is over once the flowers drop, but banksias and brunia have a woody core that dries and holds its shape for months. I used to tell customers this when they ordered for people in bush areas. You are giving two gifts in one. The first week is fresh colour and scent. After that, the pods and cones dry out on the shelf or mantelpiece and stay there until the person decides to throw them away. Most people don't."
"The fresh phase lasts seven to ten days depending on care. But then instead of the whole thing going into the bin, they pull the native stems out and keep them in a dry vase or just sitting on a ledge. I have had customers tell me six months later they still have the banksia cone from the bouquet we sent. That suits a place like Fountaindale where people have the shelf space and the kind of home where dried natural elements look right."
Anna spent over fifteen years working as a florist before joining us. She trained in North Carolina, moved to the Northern Rivers with her family, and was the first person we hired specifically because she could talk flowers with the partner florists in our network as a peer, not a middleman. She handles the books now, but her knowledge goes with her. For a suburb like Fountaindale, with homes surrounded by native bush, her advice on native flower arrangements carries real weight.
Fountaindale is a family suburb with larger blocks and quiet streets. The people who live here moved for the block sizes and the bushland, not the shops. If you are sending flowers and you are not sure where to start, think about who is receiving them and why. If the reason is harder, something like grief or loss, soft whites and muted greens are the right direction. Our sympathy flowers and sympathy flowers for the home ranges are built around those quieter palettes.
Keep it simple. New parents are running on broken sleep and cold toast. Bright colours lift the room without requiring any effort. Avoid anything that sheds petals or has a strong fragrance near the baby. A new baby arrangement is built to be low maintenance on purpose. Soft pinks or yellows are popular, but let the florist pick what is freshest that morning.
The florist picks what looks best from the morning market. Seasonal stems last longer because they are grown in their natural window, not forced in a hothouse six months early. If your person has a favourite colour, mention it in the order notes and the florist will work with it. Birthday flowers start from under $60 and go up from there. For milestone ages, we have dedicated pages for 50th, 60th, and 70th birthdays.
No occasion needed. Sometimes the best reason to send flowers is no reason at all. A thinking of you arrangement does the talking for you when a phone call feels like too much or not enough. Just because flowers work the same way. The florist builds something seasonal and cheerful. No card message required if you do not want one.
Fountaindale homes sit among eucalyptus and angophora. Native flower arrangements feel like they belong there in a way that imported roses might not. Banksias, waratahs, leucadendrons, grevillea. Tough stems that handle the dry air and have that second life Anna mentioned above. The Australian Natives Bunch starts at $126.20. For something smaller, the Florist's Choice at $71.95 lets the florist include whatever natives are in season.
Go with Florist's Choice at $71.95. You pick the size and leave the rest to the florist. They will use whatever is freshest and in season that day. It is the most popular option for a reason. If you are working to a tighter budget, our flowers under $60 range has plenty of options that still make an impression.

* What happens when your order hits our network.
You place the order online or by calling 1300 360 469. Our system matches it to a partner florist in or close to the Fountaindale area. That florist sources stems from the morning market, most likely Flemington in Sydney, which is the main wholesale hub for Central Coast florists. They build your arrangement fresh, load it into the van, and deliver by hand.
Same day delivery: Order before 2pm on weekdays or 10am on Saturdays. The cutoff exists because the florist needs time to select stems, condition them in water, build the arrangement, and plan the delivery run. Rushing that process costs vase life. A florist who skips the twenty minute hydration soak to get out the door faster is giving you a shorter lasting arrangement. The cutoff protects your flowers.
No Sunday delivery: Flemington Markets are closed on Sunday. Most florists buy stock there on Saturday morning for Monday. A Sunday delivery would use Friday stems, already two days into their life before they reach the vase. We would rather send fresh Monday stock than stale weekend leftovers.
Delivery fee: $16.95. The actual cost of a single delivery run often exceeds that. We subsidise the difference because a $25 or $30 delivery fee puts people off ordering, and we would rather get flowers to more doors.
Questions or changes after ordering: Email [email protected], call 1300 360 469, or use live chat on the website.

Once your order is placed, we route it to a partner florist covering the Fountaindale area. They source the freshest stems available, build the arrangement, and deliver it by hand the same day if you ordered before the cutoff. Fountaindale properties are often set back from the road on larger blocks, so clear delivery instructions help. If there is a gate code, a specific entrance, or the house number is hard to see from the street, add it to the order notes. The florist will thank you for it.
If something goes wrong, contact us within 24 hours. Send photos of the front and back of the arrangement to [email protected] or call 1300 360 469. You can also reach us through live chat. We take complaints seriously and resolve most issues the same day.
