A real customer review, Toowoomba delivery
"Easy to navigate and well presented website. Beautiful arrangement sent to my friend, no dramas. Very happy with the service and product."
Alice, verified customer
Andrew and Siobhan replied
Thank you, Alice. Ordering from a company you've not used before, the website is the only thing you've got to go on before you pay. A tidy, well-built site tells you someone's paying attention, which is a fair first read even if it's no guarantee, plenty of sharp-looking sites sit in front of a mess. The test is whether the delivery backs up the impression, and 'no dramas' is you telling me it did. A partner florist in Toowoomba made your friend's arrangement and it turned out the way the site suggested it would. That's the two lining up. Glad it was a clean one. Thanks for writing.
Bunch or Arrangement? It Depends Where It Is Going
Anna, qualified florist | bench years spent matching flowers to the room
A bunch is the better buy for a house, where there is a vase in the cupboard and someone to cut the stems. A hospital bed or an aged care room has neither, and a hand-tied bunch can sit dry in its paper for hours on a busy floor. That is why I steered those orders toward a box or a vase arrangement. The box is the vase. The catch is the foam inside: its water goes stale within a few days, the stem ends rot, and the heads droop while the foam still looks wet. I watched plenty fail before I learned the fix, a top-up every second day from a kitchen baster. Ten seconds for whoever visits.
Flowers for South Toowoomba Birthdays, Hospital Stays and Funerals
Each of these goes a little differently once it leaves us, so here's what to put in the notes for each, and a word on thinking of you flowers for someone living on their own.
A Birthday at Home, or a 90th at Salem
It's their birthday and you can't be there, so the flowers go instead. For a house or a unit, a mobile number in the notes means a missed knock turns into a quick phone call. If it's an 80th or a 90th at Salem Aged Care on Hume Street, add the room number as well. Our best-selling birthday flowers and 80th birthday flowers are the places to start.
Anna's pick: something low, like the Blush Pinks Arrangement With Chocolates. A tall one gets moved to the windowsill, and afternoon sun pales pink petals inside a couple of days.
For Toowoomba Hospital, Get the Ward Number First
The news came by text: they're in Toowoomba Hospital on Pechey Street, maybe with a ward number, maybe not. If they're home tomorrow, send get well flowers to the house. For the hospital, put their full name and ward in the notes, because from what we've seen flowers go to the front desk first (I learned that at Tweed Hospital in 2008, twenty minutes circling Powell Street for a park, thirty seconds at the desk). Hospital flowers won't make a ward any quieter, and they're still the first thing a patient shows visitors. "Hope you're home soon" will do for the card.
Anna has a view on what holds up on a ward. Banksia and protea, the backbone of most native flowers, are woody stems that shrug off warm ward air, and the cones dry on a shelf for months once the soft stems finish.
Sympathy Flowers for the Service or the Family Home
A notice, a time, maybe a flight to book. For a service at St Patrick's Cathedral on James Street, or a chapel in town, put the funeral director and the start time in the notes and order the day before if you can, so the funeral flowers are in place before anyone arrives. Flowers to the family's house can go today, and they're still there when the visitors have gone. "With love, thinking of you all" is enough.
Anna on church flowers
A big church swallows a small posy. A sheath lies along the coffin and reads from the back pews, and white sympathy flowers like the White Lily & Rose Sheath suit a Mass.
New Job, Hard Week, or No Reason at All
Lots of orders don't fit a heading. Close to four in ten South Toowoomba homes are one person living alone, and mixed flowers on the kitchen bench change the whole room.
The Rose, Gerbera & Lilies Bunch covers most tastes. Pinch the orange anthers off each lily as it opens: no pollen on the bench, and the flower lasts longer.

When to order
2pm weekdays for same day, which leaves the afternoon to make it and get it across town.
10am Saturdays, because the run finishes early.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
What the notes need
Toowoomba Hospital: full name and ward. Salem: name and room. A funeral: the funeral director (Hiram Philp Funerals or Burstows, say) and the start time. A unit: its number, and which door on a shared driveway.
Who takes them
At Toowoomba Hospital and Salem Aged Care, staff tend to sign at the front desk and take them through. At a house with nobody home, a neighbour or a shaded spot beats a hot step, so name one if you can. Before the cutoff, it goes out today.
Once You've Paid, Here's What Happens
You get a confirmation email, and the order goes to our partner florist in Toowoomba. If you don't hear back from the person for a day or two, that's normal (people in hospital are tired, and nobody at ninety rushes to the phone). If something is wrong, ring our team on 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm weekdays and from 10am Saturday, or email [email protected].
Andrew, who faxed our Toowoomba orders through in 2007
In 2007 a Toowoomba order got written on paper at the Marine Parade counter and faxed. Yes, faxed. These days it reaches the florist in seconds, notes attached. Now and then a hospital order lands after the patient has changed wards and takes an extra hour to catch up. If anything arrives wrong, email a photo that day and we sort it.
The flowers will be gone in a fortnight. The card usually isn't.
