Finding Your Way Around Travancore

Most Travancore homes are apartments, many in the towers by Mount Alexander Road, with interwar blocks of flats in the older streets. Give us the apartment number, the name on the intercom and a mobile, since a large block can have more than one street door.

Beyond the towers is a quiet run of streets named after places in India, among them Baroda, Cashmere, Lucknow and Mangalore, with Mooltan Street winding through the middle past Travancore Park. Moonee Ponds Creek and its trail run along the eastern side beside CityLink. Some older flats share one front entrance, so the flat number matters.

How a Travancore Order Is Kept Fresh

Growers Who Know What We Expect

Our buyers have been at the Melbourne market since 2007, and the growers have learned exactly what we will take. They put their better roses and lilies in front of us early and accept a box back when it falls short. A Travancore order starts with stock that was chosen, not simply delivered.

Opened Up on the Studio Bench

Everything is unpacked in our Southbank studio before anyone designs with it. Each stem is looked over, the bruised or tired ones are pulled, and the rest are trimmed and stood in clean water to drink. The florist making your arrangement then checks the stems a second time as the design comes together.

Waiting in a Lobby, Still Drinking

In an apartment block, flowers may sit in a lobby before someone collects them. Our signature bag has a water vessel in its base, so the stems keep drinking while they wait. Once they are inside, change the water daily. If anything is not right, tell us within 10 days and we will replace it or refund it.

Flowers for Life on Flemington Hill

Travancore is mostly renters and small households, with families in the older houses. Think of a new baby in the towers, a housewarming, or a thank you for a teacher at Flemington Primary School, which sits in Travancore despite its name. Tell our florists who the flowers are for and they will shape the design around them.

Travancore Delivery, Answered Plainly

Can Travancore have flowers delivered today?

Yes, if the order is placed before 1pm on a delivery day. We deliver Monday to Saturday, with no Sunday or public holiday deliveries, and anything ordered after 1pm can go on the next delivery day you pick at checkout.

Where do I see the delivery price for Travancore?

Each suburb has its own delivery price. Type Travancore into the delivery suburb box on any product page and it appears before you choose your flowers, so you know the figure from the start.

Can you deliver to an apartment in the Mount Alexander Road towers?

Yes. Include the building number, the apartment number and the name on the intercom, plus your recipient's mobile. If there is a building manager or front desk, it is worth asking your recipient whether flowers can be left there.

What happens if nobody answers in Travancore?

A covered landing or another safe, shaded spot will do, or a neighbour. Without one, our first call is to you. If we cannot reach you, they return to our Southbank store and we get back in touch about redelivery or collection.

When in the day will Travancore flowers turn up?

Travancore deliveries land between 9am and 5pm. That is a window rather than a booked time, so if the flowers need to be there for something in particular, add a note at checkout and we will do our best.
