Flowers reach Yarralumla the same day you order: before 2pm on a weekday, or 10am on a Saturday. Any later, pick a date at checkout. A house, a unit or an embassy all work, and for an embassy, like the American one on Moonah Place, put the person's full name and title in the notes. Call us and one of our friendly, Australian-based team will take the order for you, or buy the Rose, Gerbera & Lilies Bunch below online in minutes.

Flowers last longer in a Yarralumla winter, as long as they get inside
Anna, qualified florist | on frost, porches and the warm side of the door
Winter is kind to flowers once they're indoors. A cool room slows the bacteria that clog a stem, so the water keeps moving and the petals stay firm. In my experience a bunch in a June lounge room gives you two or three days more than the same bunch in a February room without air conditioning.
Outside is another story. A petal is mostly water. Leave a bunch on a porch or an outside step on a frosty Yarralumla morning and that water freezes, the cells split, and later that day the edges go glassy, then brown. I learnt that in North Carolina, watching a frosted rose thaw. It looked perfect for an hour. Hand to hand and straight indoors is how they last.
Birthday, Embassy and Funeral Flowers Across Yarralumla
We deliver right across Yarralumla, from the units near the Novar Street shops to the embassies at the eastern end. The first three cards below are the orders that need the most in the notes. For no occasion at all, Anna's pick is in the last card, or browse our thinking-of-you flowers.
Add a Phone or Unit Number to a Milestone Birthday Order
The birthday is today, it ends in a zero, and you're in Brisbane or Perth. For a 70th birthday at the house, add their phone number in case nobody hears the door. For an 80th at John Cahill Village on Novar Street, add the unit number too. A village name on its own has the driver walking every path, and I've walked enough of them with a bunch in each hand to know.
Anna's call: an arrangement over a wrapped bunch at eighty, so nobody goes hunting for a vase. The Pastel Pink Lilies & Roses Arrangement arrives ready for the sideboard. If someone pinches the anthers off as each lily opens, the pollen stays off the tablecloth.
Flowers to an Embassy? Start With a Name and a Title
Someone at an embassy has a farewell or a new posting, and all you know is which embassy. In 2007 I drove a birthday bunch to Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast with a docket that said "Pat, house with the boat". The guard at the boom gate pointed out that every house in there has a boat.
An embassy gate here is the same boom gate with a flag on it. So the notes need the person's full name, their title and a phone number for someone who can come down. Thank-you flowers and celebration flowers both suit.
A foyer arrangement gets looked at from across the room. Dark colours go low and pale ones high, or the whole thing looks ready to tip, and the eye catches that before the brain does.
Two Places Sympathy Flowers Go, and What Each Needs
The notice says St Peter Chanel's on Loch Street, or White Lady Funerals on Canberra Avenue in Kingston. Funeral flowers go to the church or the funeral director before the service, with the service time in the notes. Sympathy flowers for the home can wait until the house goes quiet. Flowers are a small thing next to a death, and they're still what the family looks at all week. A card can just say "Thinking of you all."
Anna, on white in a church
White lilies sit right in a church. Put "anthers off" in the notes. Wet pollen brushes away, but dry pollen bonds to cloth, and on a white altar cloth it stays.
If Nothing Above Fits, Anna Would Send Blue
Some orders don't fit a heading: a neighbour who brought the bins in all winter, a teacher at Yarralumla Primary. Anna has a default for those.
The Blue Mist Arrangement. Blue flowers read calm, suit a man or a woman, and don't lean towards a birthday or a funeral.

When to order
2pm weekdays, so it can be made up and delivered the same day.
10am Saturday, a shorter trading day.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
What the notes need
An embassy: the full name, title and a phone number. John Cahill Village: the unit number. Calvary John James Hospital, Strickland Crescent, Deakin: the patient's name and ward. A funeral: the service time.
Who takes it
A house: whoever answers. If nobody's likely to be home, name a neighbour in the notes rather than have it left on a frosty porch. An embassy: in our experience security at the gate signs first, and it goes inside from there. A hospital: ward reception. Order before 2pm and it's on its way today.
Once It's Ordered, Here's What Happens
You get a confirmation email, and one of our partner florists near Yarralumla makes it up and delivers it on the day you picked. If something looks wrong, ring 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm weekdays and from 10am Saturday, or email [email protected], and we ask the florist for a photo the same day. That's the whole process.
Siobhan, on when Canberra rang the Kingscliff shop
In 2007 and 2008, before we were even Lily's Florist, Canberra was one of the ten places the Marine Parade shop phone rang for most, thanks to the old owner's Yellow Pages ad, and half the time we had to say no (which was rough). These days Yarralumla is a yes. If whoever got the flowers hasn't rung you yet, that's normal, people tend to ring their sister first. And when an order does go wrong here, it's nearly always an embassy order with a first name and no title, which gets me every time because it's such a small thing.
