Send Flowers to Brisbane, Australia

Every October and November, jacaranda trees turn whole Brisbane streets purple, a sight so tied to university exams that students at the University of Queensland in St Lucia joke about it. The Queensland capital curls along the Brisbane River, with South Bank's parklands facing the city centre, nightlife in Fortitude Valley, cafes in New Farm and West End, and timber "Queenslander" houses on stilts climbing the hills of Paddington and Red Hill.

The climate is subtropical: mild, dry winters and hot, stormy summers. Florists in Brisbane lean towards flowers that cope with humidity, such as orchids, lilies, gerberas and tropical foliage, and they suggest keeping bouquets indoors away from direct sun. If you want to send flowers to Brisbane from abroad, remember that Queensland does not use daylight saving, so in summer the city runs an hour behind Sydney and Melbourne.

Deliveries reach family homes in suburbs like Indooroopilly, Carindale and Chermside, riverside apartments at Kangaroo Point, city offices, and wards at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in Herston. A local florist prepares each order by hand and delivers it the next day, Monday to Saturday, when the order is placed before midnight local time. Sunday and public holiday deliveries are not available anywhere in Australia.
