Shop BySame Day Flower Delivery Murphys Creek, However Big the Block
Murphys Creek gets same-day flowers: order before 2pm on a weekday and they're delivered this afternoon, or pick a later day at checkout. The Florists Choice Birthday Bunch is the easy birthday pick, and sympathy flowers have their own tab below. However far the house sits from the road, a mobile in the notes finds it. For a burial at Murphys Creek Cemetery on Cemetery Road, add the funeral director and the service time from the notice. Buy online, or call us and one of our friendly, helpful, Australian-based team will find the right bunch for whoever it's for.

Sending a Bunch to a Murphys Creek House? Any Jug Will Do
Anna, qualified florist | on the vase at the other end
A hand-tied bunch is built to stand up by itself. The stems go in a spiral, crossing at the tie and fanning out below it, so each one reaches the water. Leave the tie on. Trim the stems so the flowers stand about one and a half times the height of the jug, and keep it narrow enough for the stems to lean on each other. Too wide and the bunch falls open like a dropped umbrella.
I learnt it in North Carolina, where the florist I trained under made me retie one bunch three times until it stood on the bench alone. On a big block the kitchen jug is the vase, and that's fine. No fuss wanted? The Gorgeous White Arrangement brings its own water.
Flowers for a Birthday, a Funeral or a New Baby in Murphys Creek
Most people sending flowers are sending them for a birthday, and the next most common reason is that someone has died. Here's how both work in Murphys Creek, plus the odd new grandchild, and all three end up somewhere different.
Birthday Flowers for Mum, at the House or Over Lunch
It's Mum's birthday, you're a long way off, and by lunchtime she could be anywhere on the property, so put a mobile in the notes. If the family's taking her to the Murphys Creek Tavern on Thursa Street, send the flowers there instead and let the whole table see them arrive. There are more ideas in our birthday flowers for Mum.
Anna's pick: the Florists Choice Birthday Bunch, which needs no proper vase. For the tavern, the Bright Arrangement With Chocolates is set in foam, so it travels home with her after.
Funeral Flowers for a Burial on Cemetery Road
Someone's being buried at Murphys Creek and you can't be there. Are the flowers for the funeral service, or for the family's house in the week after? For the service, put the director named on the notice and the service time in the notes, and keep the card short: "With love, and so sorry we can't be there."
In 2008 I drove a white wreath from our shop on Marine Parade to the little cemetery at Tyalgum, an hour early, and found no office and nobody to hand it to. Rather than guess at a grave, I sat in the Tyalgum Hotel at ten in the morning with a wreath on my lap (that got a few looks) until the woman behind the bar rang someone who knew which grave was theirs. Mortified and grateful, in about equal parts. Murphys Creek Cemetery is that same sort of small country cemetery.
A wreath is the graveside piece. Its foam ring goes out soaked and holds water for a day or so on the grass. A sheath carries none: it's laid on the casket for the service, then the family takes it home for a vase. The White Funeral Wreath for the first job, the White Lily & Rose Sheath for the second.
For a New Baby, Name the Hospital or Send It Home
The baby's here, and the first cuddle is going to have to wait. If mum and baby are still in, put her full name and the hospital in the notes, St Vincent's Private on Scott Street or Toowoomba Hospital on Pechey Street, and in our experience the flowers stop at the ward desk first. Home already? Send the new baby flowers to the house. For the card: "Welcome, little one. Can't wait to meet you."
Anna, on a maternity bedside
Keep it low on scent and low on fuss, because new parents aren't changing vase water. The Blush Pinks Arrangement With Chocolates is set in foam and looks after itself.
Not Sure What to Send? Start With the Reason
Plenty of orders don't fit a heading: thank-you flowers for the neighbour who fed the dogs, a teacher at Murphy's Creek State School at the end of term, or flowers just because.
Anna's call: the Australian Natives Bunch. Banksia and leucadendron are woody and take a warm day in their stride, and when the softer stems finish, the cones dry on a shelf for months.
Browse by Flower or Occasion
A hand-tied bunch ordered before 2pm on a weekday is on its way to Murphys Creek this afternoon, and it doesn't need a proper vase at the other end.
Shop Hand-Tied BunchesThe Notes Do Most of the Finding
When to order
2pm on a weekday for same-day, because the florist needs the morning to make it and drive it out.
10am Saturday, a short trading day for florists.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
What the notes need
A mobile, always, and which gate if the house is set back off the road. For a burial, the service time and the director, Gatton Funerals on Crescent Street or Burstows on Cochrane Street. For aged care, the room at Regis on Dawson Drive in Gatton or Carinity Brownesholme in Highfields.
Who takes it in
At a house, whoever's home, or the shady spot you name. For a service at Holy Family in Withcott or St Joseph's in Helidon, or a graveside, the director tends to carry the flowers on. Hospitals and aged care usually take them at reception. Order before 2pm and it's on its way today.
Nobody Ringing Back Doesn't Mean Anything Went Wrong
Your order goes to one of our partner florists near Murphys Creek as soon as it's placed. If nobody rings to say thanks by dinner, don't read anything into it. From 2006 to February 2011, when Ivy arrived, I took a lot of calls from people in exactly that spot, and they nearly always ended with the flowers on the kitchen table and someone who'd been out on the property all afternoon.
To check on an order or change one, ring 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm weekdays, or email [email protected].
Andrew, on the letterbox on the wrong road
Now and then the letterbox is on one road and the driveway is off another, so the first stop is the wrong side of a paddock. That's what the mobile in the notes is for. One call and the florist is at the right gate. If anything's not right when it lands, ring us that day with a photo and we make it right.
