Description
A bunch of white oriental lilies with green foliage, hand tied and delivered by a partner florist on the day. From $80.75 with same day delivery if you order before 2pm weekdays or 10am Saturdays. Vase not included. This bunch contains oriental lilies which are toxic to cats.
The photo shows the Premium size (+$31) with a mix of open blooms and closed buds. Your bunch will follow the same all white palette. The number of open blooms versus buds will vary depending on the stage of the stems at market on the day. The vase shown is for display purposes and is not included.
What's In The Bunch
White oriental lilies. Nothing else competing for attention. The photo shows a generous bunch with blooms at different stages. Some fully open, petals curled back, anthers visible. Others still tight in bud, green tipped and weeks away from opening. That mix is deliberate. The open blooms give you the immediate impact when the bunch arrives. The buds give you the next week and the week after that.
Each stem carries three to five individual blooms. Not all of them will be open on day one. That's normal and it's actually the point. A bunch of lilies that arrived with every bloom fully open would be beautiful for three days and finished by day five. A bunch with a spread of bud stages will keep opening for seven to ten days, sometimes longer. The arrangement changes shape every morning. You wake up, walk past the vase, and something new has opened overnight.
The fragrance is the other thing. Oriental lilies scent a room in a way no other cut flower can. Within hours of arriving, the recipient will smell them from the next room. By the second day, with more blooms open, the scent fills the house. It builds. Greg ordered this bunch as a Christmas gift and said it was "on show for all to see." That's what white lilies do. They command a room.
Sizing
Four sizes. Standard starts at $80.75 with a generous number of stems. Deluxe adds more for $6. Premium at +$31 is the one in the photo, a serious bunch with enough stems to fill a large vase. Extra Large at +$45 is dramatic, the kind of arrangement that stops people mid conversation.
Vase is not included. We sell flowers with vases separately. Lilies need a vase with some weight to it. The stems are thick and the blooms are heavy, especially at Premium and above. A lightweight glass vase can tip. Something with a wider base and a bit of heft keeps the arrangement stable as the blooms open and the weight shifts.
Order before 2pm weekdays for same day delivery. Select your size above.
Who Sends This One
Two main occasions dominate here: sympathy and celebration. White lilies cross that divide more naturally than almost any other flower. They suit a funeral and they suit a birthday. They work for anniversaries, for thank you, for thinking of you. The white reads differently depending on what the recipient is going through. To someone grieving it feels like peace. To someone celebrating it feels like elegance.
Anna sees what most people miss in flowers. Over fifteen years of daily work on the bench, she developed opinions that aren't theoretical. She has a quiet view on why white works for sympathy in a way other colours can't.
"I've made a lot of sympathy arrangements over the years and I always come back to white. There's a reason it works that goes beyond tradition. Grief overwhelms the senses. Everything feels too loud, too bright, too much. White is the absence of all that. It doesn't compete with the weight of the moment. It just sits there, calm. Cream works too, soft greens. But bright colours in a house of mourning can feel jarring, even when they're meant well. I've seen people send cheerful pink bunches to a funeral home and the family doesn't know what to do with them. They're beautiful flowers in the wrong context. White lilies never have that problem."
If you're sending this bunch for a funeral or memorial service, timing matters. Annie's review mentions calling us because she "was concerned that the delivery would happen when the family was out and they would be left to roast in the heat. We made a contingency plan in case that happened." That kind of coordination is part of what we do. But for funeral deliveries specifically, there's an extra step.
"Funeral deliveries run on someone else's clock. The service has a time. The family arrives before it. The florist needs to get the arrangement there after setup but before guests. Too early and the flowers have been sitting for hours in an un-airconditioned chapel. Too late and you're walking in with a bunch while people are grieving. A good florist calls the funeral director. Every time. They confirm the venue, the service time, and the window for delivery. That phone call takes two minutes. Skipping it risks getting the timing wrong on the one occasion where timing matters most."
If you're ordering for a funeral, add the funeral home name, service date, and time in the delivery notes. Or call us on 1300 360 469 and the team will coordinate directly.
Accessibility
Christine's review mentions something we don't hear often enough. "I am vision impaired but managed to navigate to what I was looking for easily." We want the website to work for everyone. If you have difficulty navigating the site or need help placing an order, call 1300 360 469 (Mon to Fri, 7am to 6pm, Sat 7am to 12pm). Christine also had "limited information about the recipient due to language barriers but the flowers were delivered as requested at the time requested." The team handles complex orders like that regularly.
A Note On Cats
Oriental lilies are toxic to cats. Every part of the plant, including the pollen, the leaves, and the water in the vase. A cat that brushes against a lily and grooms the pollen off its fur can develop kidney failure. If you're sending to a home with cats, choose a lily free alternative. Our Pastel Gerberas at $80.75 or Bright Mixed Gerberas at $80.75 are both cat safe. If you're not sure whether the recipient has cats, it's worth asking before ordering lilies.
Care
When the bunch arrives, unwrap it, trim all stems at a forty five degree angle with sharp scissors, and strip every leaf below the waterline. Room temperature water for the first fill, about two thirds of the vase. Change it every two to three days. Lilies are thirsty and the water level drops fast with this many stems.
Remove the pollen anthers from each bloom as it opens. Pinch them off before the pollen starts to powder. Lily pollen stains badly, a deep orange that won't come out of fabric, and it transfers from fingertips to clothes to furniture faster than you'd think. But there's a second reason to remove them. The lily reads the loss of its anthers as a signal that pollination hasn't happened yet, so it keeps the bloom open longer. Three to four extra days per bloom, which across a bunch of this size adds up to a meaningful extension of the overall display.
Check every morning. Buds that were tight at night can open overnight, and a fresh bloom with powdering anthers will dust pollen across the open petals below it within hours.
The fragrance intensifies as more blooms open. If the scent becomes too strong in a bedroom, move the vase to a larger room or a hallway where the air circulates more. The scent is part of the appeal for most people but it can be overwhelming in a small enclosed space.
As individual blooms fade, snap them off at the stem junction. The remaining buds will keep opening. A well cared for bunch of oriental lilies can keep producing new blooms for two weeks or more.

Delivery
Your bunch is hand tied and delivered by a real partner florist from our network of 800+ across Australia. We've been coordinating deliveries through this network since 2009. Made fresh on the day from market stock and hand delivered to the door.
Delivery is $16.95 Australia wide. That fee is subsidised. The actual cost of getting a florist to hand deliver to a specific address is often higher, but we absorb the difference.
Same day delivery if you order before 2pm on weekdays or 10am on Saturdays. No Sunday deliveries. Flower markets close Saturday afternoon.
Annie was worried about heat and called us to make a plan. "We made a contingency plan in case that happened but I need not have worried." If you have concerns about delivery timing, temperature, or access, call 1300 360 469 or email [email protected]. We'd rather sort it out before the delivery than deal with a problem after.
Moira described the service as "excellent" and noted the "online service was helpful and ensured accurate delivery." Lisa called it "great service and prompt." These are patterns. The system works because real people run it.
Need to change something after ordering? Email, call (Mon to Fri, 7am to 6pm, Sat 7am to 12pm), or use live chat. If something isn't right with the delivery, get in touch within 24 hours with a photo and we'll sort it out.

Substitution Policy
This is an all lily bunch so the substitution question is simpler than a mixed arrangement. White oriental lilies are one of the most widely available cut flowers in Australia, grown commercially year round. The florist selects the freshest stems at market and the number of open blooms versus buds will depend on what's available that morning. A bunch with more buds than open flowers isn't a lesser bunch. It's a longer lasting one. On rare occasions where the market is short on white orientals, the florist may supplement with Asiatic lilies (a slightly smaller bloom with less fragrance) or contact us to discuss options before making changes. Any substitution will be of equal or greater value and will maintain the all white palette.
