Same Day Flowers Delivery - Australia Wide!
Flowers can reach Witta this afternoon. Order before 2pm on a weekday, or 10am on a Saturday, and they're delivered today; later than that, you pick the day at checkout. Plenty of Witta homes sit well back from the road, so a line about the gate and a mobile in the notes gets them to the right house. For a funeral at Good Shepherd Lutheran or Witta Cemetery, add the funeral director's name. Choose from our hand-selected flowers below, or call us and our friendly, helpful, Australian-based team will help you pick before a word goes on the card.
Will flowers last in Witta? In a house up on the range, usually longer than on the coast
A cut flower is still alive in the vase, burning through the sugar it stored, and every ten degrees warmer roughly doubles how fast it does that. So a rose that gives three to six days in a hot, shut-up room will usually give seven to ten in a lounge room sitting around twenty to twenty-four degrees. A house up on the range tends to spend more of the year near that mark than one down on the coast, which is the whole trick.
The one place that doesn't help is a grave. Flowers laid there live on whatever they drank that morning, so thick, waxy and woody stems (leucadendron, protea, carnation) are the ones that look the same at the end of a burial as at the start. Hydrangea drinks through its petals as well as its stem. It's lush in a vase at the house, and it needs one.
Pick the one that fits below: a birthday at the house, a funeral at the church or the cemetery, someone who's unwell, or no reason at all. If there's no vase at the other end, our flower arrangements arrive ready to stand on a table.
It's their birthday today, and the house is somewhere down a driveway off Witta Road. The number on the letterbox post and a line about the gate ("second gate, green tank") get flowers to the right place, and a mobile covers the day they're out when it arrives. Our best-selling birthday flowers and birthday flowers for Mum both travel well.
Anna, on the wait: a hand-tied bunch carries a water pack at the binding point, so a few hours on a shaded verandah is fine. Inside, recut the stems at about forty-five degrees, straight into water.
The service is at Good Shepherd Lutheran on Witta Road, the burial is at Witta Cemetery, or both, and you can't be there. The cemetery has no staffed office, so the funeral director's name and the service time go in the notes, and the flowers travel with them. Sympathy flowers to the house can follow once it's gone quiet.
We delivered to cemeteries ourselves from 2006 to 2009. At Tyalgum General Cemetery, on Swifts Road, in 2008, I set a tall vase arrangement on the grass beside a fresh grave. The ground isn't flat out there. It went over twice before anyone arrived, and the man with the shovel wedged it with a lump of clay and said nothing, which was good of him. So for a grave, send a sheaf that lies flat. On the card, "Thinking of you all" is enough.
White shows every mark first. A little cream and soft green through a white sheaf hides them for longer.
They're unwell, in hospital or resting at home, or nothing's happened at all and you just haven't seen them in too long. If they're in Maleny Soldiers Memorial on Bean Street, put the ward in the notes; if they're home, the same details as a birthday. Get well flowers and thinking of you flowers both go the same day, and the card only needs a line: "Rest up, see you soon" or "No reason. Just thinking of you."
Carnations suit either. The buds keep opening into the second week, so the bunch looks fuller on day ten than it did on day two.
Plenty of orders don't fit a heading, and nobody at the other end minds.
Anna's vote: gerberas, from our daisies page. They're the happiest-looking flower in the bucket, and a cooler hinterland house suits them. The stem is hollow and bacteria get in there first, so keep the water clean and change it every two days. Looked after like that, a gerbera goes well past a week.

The number on the post at the road, a line about the gate, and a mobile. For a funeral, the director's name, the service time, and which it is: the church, the graveside or both.
In our experience, whoever's home, or a shaded spot on the verandah if you've said so. For a funeral, the director. In before 2pm today, and it goes out this afternoon.

When you can't get to a funeral, the flowers end up carrying a lot, more than they should really, and then nobody rings to say they arrived. That's normal. I took calls from 2006 until February 2011, and the thank-you usually came weeks later, if it came at all (grief is tiring, and the phone is the last thing anyone wants). One thing I'd want to know if I were you: if a stem you picked isn't at the market that morning, the florist swaps it for something in the same colour and value, and it's noted on the order. Flowers are a small thing next to a funeral. They still get remembered.
Back to me for the last word: a sheaf for the grave, a vase for the house.
