Same Day Flowers Delivery - Australia Wide!
Same-day flowers reach Sippy Downs every weekday, on any order placed before 2pm. Our partner florist near the suburb makes it that morning: a townhouse off a shared driveway, a room in care, or a desk on campus at the University of the Sunshine Coast, where the building name in the notes does the finding. Pick from our hand-selected range below and buy online, or call us and one of our friendly, helpful, Australian-based team will find the right door with you.
Back from the water the air stops moving, and that is what shortens a bunch here.
People blame the heat. Heat speeds a flower up, but what finishes a bouquet in an estate a few kilometres inland is humid air that sits still. Botrytis is grey mould, and the spores are on the petals before a bunch ever leaves the bench. Warm, wet, motionless air wakes them.
The first wet season I worked through I lost most of a bench of roses to it overnight. You see it overnight: fuzzy grey patches on the outer petals, brown at the edge by morning. Loose wrap, never tight cellophane, and air moving around the vase.
One postcode, three very different jobs. The flowers are the easy part in all three; the address is not. Birthday orders run through the lot.
You will not be in the row of seats. The flowers stand in for you, on the right day.
Ceremony venues make poor delivery addresses. Send graduation flowers to the house instead, the night before, or the afternoon they get back with the gown in the car, and put the graduate's own name in the notes.
Pick stems that do not mind a few hours out of a vase: chrysanthemum, carnation and waxflower hold through a warm afternoon.
A lot of these addresses are complexes. The street number gets the van into the driveway, and then there are fourteen doors.
In 2008 I took roses to a unit block on Wharf Street at Tweed Heads with no unit number on the docket. Twenty-eight doors. I knocked on nine before a bloke in a towel pointed at the far stairwell and said try 21, she gets flowers. He was right. Put the unit number and a mobile in the notes. Birthday flowers for a daughter go into the student end of this suburb more than anything else.
A hand-tied bunch crosses every stem at one binding point and splays below it, so it stands up on its own when you set it down. In a house with no vase, that matters.
Somebody has moved into Regis on University Way and you have not seen the room.
Ageing in place, dementia care and respite sit under the one roof, so the wing and the resident's full name matter more than the street number. In our experience reception takes it and a staff member walks it in. The rooms are small, so a small thinking of you bunch or sympathy flowers for the home beat anything big. A card that says Thinking of you today, from all of us is enough. The flowers can mean more to you than to them. Send them anyway.
Nobody in a care room changes the water. Strip the leaves before the stems go in and the bunch buys itself days.
Plenty of orders arrive with no heading on them. An exam finished, a job offer, a housemate who has had a rough month.
Anna's pick: a mixed seasonal bunch. Several stem types means the whole thing does not go over at once; the greenery carries it another week.

What I heard most on the phones, and I took those calls for years, was people ringing two days later because nobody had said anything. It is almost never the flowers. Someone is on a ward, or flat out with a newborn, or eighty-eight and not reaching for the phone. The thank you comes when it comes.
