Flower Delivery In Seymour

Everyone drives past Seymour on the Hume. Somebody you care about lives there, and this week you are one of the people driving past. The flowers stop in when you cannot: a birthday in town, a bed on Bretonneux Street, a service at the cemetery on Kobyboyn Road. Order before 2pm on a weekday and our partner florist in the area has it there that afternoon. From $42.95. Choose from our hand-selected range below and order online, it takes a minute, or call us and one of our friendly Australian team will take it from there.

The 2pm cutoff

The cutoff is 2pm weekdays, 10am Saturday. The afternoon is the build and the drive.

Where it lands

A third of Seymour's doors have one person behind them. The safe spot in the notes matters as much as the flowers.

Two seasons, two lists

58% humidity at 9am in January, near 90% in July. The stem list changes twice a year.

Who makes it

There is no Lily's Florist in Seymour. A florist in or close to town builds it that day. What you give up to get that is below.

Whose Bench the Seymour Order Lands On

We are in Kingscliff. There has never been a Lily's Florist in Seymour. The order travels to a florist in or near town as a paid job with the date on it. You give up walking in and pointing at a bucket. You get an order that does not hang on one shop having a good week.

One town, two flower problems, six months apart.

Anna, qualified florist | on the two seasons that decide a Seymour bunch

Salt air on the Tweed coast taught me what an air conditioner does to a soft petal, and the mechanism does not change inland. Mangalore runs 58 per cent humidity at nine in the morning in January, close to 90 in July. Every degree above 21 lifts a hydrangea's water loss about seven per cent, so a room with the split system going pulls moisture out faster than the stem replaces it. Sweet peas fall from seven days to two.

Winter is the reverse. May to September a Seymour lounge room sits in the cool band, so tulips and ranunculus are at their best price and best behaviour. Two warnings: fruit on a kitchen bench curls carnations inside a day, and chrysanthemums read as funeral flowers in a Chinese or Italian home. Everywhere else they are the most reliable stem on the bench.

Four Seymour Addresses, Four Different Orders

Pick the address first. The flowers follow from it.

From what our florists have seen at these four kinds of Seymour address.

Going to
Send
Put in the notes
Skip
A town block, nobody home till six
Boxed, its own water
Side gate, shaded verandah, the neighbour always in
Anything needing a vase found
A reception desk on Bretonneux Street
Compact box, low fragrance
Full name, and the ward if you have it
Scented lilies, tall vases
A chapel on Emily Street or Anzac Avenue
Posy or sheaf, garden or native
Service date and time, the family name
Red, and the cemetery as the address
Puckapunyal, or acreage at Hilldene
Hardy stems, boxed
Full name and unit, or the gate
Soft petals on a long driveway

You will not be there to see which of these it was. The notes field is the only instruction that travels with the order.

How a Seymour Order Actually Moves

Lisianthus is grown commercially at Murchison, sixty kilometres north on the Goulburn. It costs less than an imported rose and reads like one, so it earns its place in a box under sixty dollars.

The Three Orders That Come Up Most

Three things come up here more than anything else, and the second is not an occasion at all. Native flowers come into the first of them more than anything, which is Box-Ironbark country for you.

What to Send for a Funeral in Seymour

Flowers will not fix it and you already know that. They say the thing you cannot say from four hours away. Funeral or family home: anything for the service goes to the funeral director with the date on it, because Emily Street and Anzac Avenue both hold the service on site. I ran the service flowers into funeral homes around Tweed Heads and Banora Point myself between 2006 and 2010. Nobody at a chapel knows whose flowers are whose without the family name on the card. Keep the message short: "Thinking of you and your family" is enough, and it outlasts the flowers by years.

Kobyboyn Road has lawn sections and monumental ones. A vase tips on turf and holds on stone, so a wreath or sheaf is safer on a lawn plot. Most services here are secular, and native and garden flowers do most of the work. Ask the family what grew in the garden and start there.

You Heard Something and You Are Two States Away

You heard it second-hand and you are not sure the gesture is yours to make. It is. A parent posted into Puckapunyal, or a mother on her own since before the 1974 flood: give us a mobile number, because a landline in an empty house rings out. A thinking of you order in at 1:55 on a Friday sits on a step until six. "No reason. Just thinking of you" does the job.

In February the step does the damage. Thirty degrees facing north will cook a rose before anyone is home, so ask for a morning run.

Everything on Bretonneux Street Is a Reception Desk

Sending to a ward when you cannot get there yourself is a strange kind of helpless. Send to the hospital on that street only once they are on a ward: the urgent care centre beside it runs around the clock, and plenty go home the same day. A ward clerk walks it up from reception. I drove flowers into hospitals for four years, and for the first two Asha came with me. A bloke holding a baby gets a ward number out of a front desk that a bloke holding flowers does not. A woman rang me in 2012 for her mum's eightieth in one of the care homes on that street, after the biggest arrangement we sold. We talked her down.

Anna, qualified florist

A tall arrangement crowds out the water jug and the reading glasses and is the staff's problem by day three. Nothing a resident could eat, either, if the unit is a dementia one. Palliative is the exception.

Get well flowers to Seymour

Order before 2pm on a weekday, or 10am Saturday, and it is at the door, the desk or the chapel that day.

Browse boxed arrangements

Need a hand choosing?

None of those fit, or you just want something good at the door. Anna's call is a boxed arrangement on chrysanthemum and lisianthus: the chrysanthemum carries any room and any month, Chinese and Italian households aside, the lisianthus does a rose's work for less, and the box lands on the surface with its own water. A hand-tied bunch wants a vase, scissors and five minutes, and in a house where one person lives alone that is five minutes nobody has.

Boxes under sixty dollars

Same Day Flowers to Seymour, the Detail

Same day

In by 2pm weekdays or 10am Saturday and it goes that day. Saturday closes earlier because the Melbourne market does. Delivery is a flat fee and we carry part of it.

If nobody is in

The florist finds the most sheltered spot they can. A safe place in the notes beats a stranger guessing.

Postcodes covered

3660 Seymour, 3661 Tallarook, 3662 Puckapunyal, 3663 Broadford, 3664 Avenel, 3717 Yea.

Why don't we deliver to Seymour on a Sunday?

Mother's Day is the one Sunday we run, because it is planned months out and the florists buy ahead for it. Every other week the market trades Monday to Saturday morning, then shuts. Anything built on a Sunday came off a Friday bench and has already spent a third of its vase life waiting. Monday with the week's stock beats Sunday with what is left.

Flood and rural access

Coverage started in 2013. Since then the Goulburn went over its 1974 record and Whiteheads Creek broke fifteen months later from a different cause. During an event the central streets shut and delivery becomes a next-morning job we ring you about. Outside an event, order before 2pm today and it is on this afternoon's run.

After You Order

An order number lands by email straight away and the job is on the florist's board before the afternoon run is loaded. Funerals and hospital deliveries go out first on that run now. They did not always. We moved them to the front after one reached a chapel with the cars already gone.

Siobhan, co-founder, on the quiet bit

The part nobody warns you about is the waiting. You have paid, the flowers are somewhere in Victoria, and nobody has said a word. Most people do not text straight back (older recipients almost never do), and the gesture has done its work in that room whether you have heard or not. Ring 1300 360 469, seven to six on weekdays and from ten on Saturday mornings, and someone will look it up.

If it arrives wrong, send photos of the arrangement and the product page inside twenty-four hours to [email protected]. Inside a day we can fix it.

About the Author

Andrew and Siobhan Thomson, co-founders of Lily's Florist
Co-founder, Lily's Florist

Between 2006 and 2010 I did the deliveries myself, out of the shop we bought in Kingscliff, from Pottsville up to Tweed Heads and Banora Point. Hundreds went into hospitals and funeral homes. Murwillumbah Hospital in the middle of summer, thirty-seven degrees, Asha screaming in the back, five minutes to get the flowers to reception and nowhere to park.

Lily's Florist started in 2009 with twenty florists. Past eight hundred now, still Siobhan and me at the kitchen table. The longer version is on our about Lily's Florist page.

Our Kingscliff shop

The original Kingscliff shop, bought 2006. The brand and the network came three years later.
