Same Day Flowers Delivery - Australia Wide!
Order before 2pm on a weekday and your flowers are delivered in Maroochy River this afternoon, out to the farms and bush blocks too. Missed 2pm? Choose any day at checkout. The Colourful Bunch Including Chocolates suits a birthday, the White Lily & Rose Sheath a funeral, and for Nambour General just add the ward to the notes. Pick from our same-day range below and pay securely online, or call us and one of our friendly, Australian-based team will find the right road with you.
Will the flowers last in a warm Maroochy River house? Longest in its coolest room
Warmth is what ages a bunch. Every ten degrees warmer a room gets roughly doubles how fast a flower uses up its stored sugar, so a rose that gives you seven to ten days at about twenty-two gives you three to six near thirty, browning from the petal edges in.
Put the vase in the room that's still coolest at three in the afternoon, often the side of the house the bush keeps shaded, and out of sun through the glass. The first January I kept roses on a kitchen bench facing west, I thought I'd been sold tired stock. The roses were fine. The kitchen wasn't.
Most flowers sent to Maroochy River are for a birthday, someone in hospital or a funeral, and every card below can go out today. For something simple, our hand-tied flower bunches suit almost any of those.
It's their birthday and you're nowhere near Maroochy River. Order before 2pm on a weekday and birthday flowers go out today; our best sellers are an easy start.
Get the road name right, too. In 2008 a man rang our Kingscliff shop for his mum's birthday and gave the address as Tweed Road, the farm with the blue shed. I drove up Tweed Valley Way and knocked on a blue shed. Nice people. Wrong road. She was on Tweed Coast Road, twenty minutes the other way, watching the gate. Maroochy River has two long roads that both start with Yandina, so write the whole name.
When the flowers arrive, take two centimetres off each stem on an angle. A flat cut sits on the bottom of the jug and seals, and the stems go thirsty in a full vase.
All you have is a ward number off a text. If they're still in Nambour General, send hospital flowers with their full name and ward; in our experience a nurse takes them in from the desk. Home already? Get well flowers go there instead. "Thinking of you, rest up" says enough.
Save heavily scented lilies for when they're home; the next bed didn't ask for them. Gerberas and chrysanthemums carry next to no scent and hold up well on a ward.
A funeral notice, and a family you want to reach. Funeral flowers go to the funeral director with the service time; sympathy flowers for home land well at the house a few days later. "With love, thinking of you all" is plenty. It won't feel like enough, and it still matters that something arrived with your name on it.
Anna has a view on this. A sheath lies flat on a trestle or on turf; a tall vase tips.
A thank-you to the neighbour who fed the dog, or a welcome for new people up the road. Neither fits a card above, and our mixed flowers suit both.
Anna, on the mix: the Rose, Gerbera & Lilies Bunch is the one I'd send. The lily buds open one after another, so the vase keeps changing into the second week. Pinch the orange anthers off as each one opens and nothing gets stained.
Or start with who it's for
Natives are our biggest seller, and they take a hot day in their stride.
Shop Australian Natives2pm weekdays, so there's time to make it and get it out the same day.
10am Saturday, a shorter trading day.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
The whole road name, since Yandina-Coolum Road and Yandina-Bli Bli Road both run through Maroochy River and numbers pass 1,400. A mobile. For hospital, full name and ward; for a funeral, the director and service time.
At a house, in our experience the florist rings the mobile or leaves them in the shade. At Nambour General, the ward desk. For a service, the funeral director. Order this morning and it goes out today.
The order goes to one of our partner florists near Maroochy River, who makes it up that day and takes it out. If something isn't right, a photo to [email protected] before the day's out is the quickest fix. The team answers 1300 360 469 from 7am to 6pm weekdays.
Plenty of Maroochy River houses have young kids in them, so after school it's often one of them who carries the flowers in and reads the card out loud (with commentary, sometimes). Hearing nothing that night is normal. When I was on our phones, up to February 2011, the orders that worried me were nearly always a road name short.
The rest happens without you, which is rather the point.
