Yes, deliver todaySouth Miami is its own small city within Miami-Dade County, separate from the City of Miami. Most flowers sent here go to homes in its leafy residential streets or to South Miami Hospital, which has a large center for women and infants.
That makes this a common place to send flowers for a new baby, and it is exactly the situation where hospital rules matter most.
Same-day delivery in South Miami
Order before 2 p.m. Eastern time on a weekday for same-day delivery. On weekends and holidays the cutoff is earlier and nothing is guaranteed. See our guide to same-day cutoffs.
For homes, add a phone number and any gate or apartment details. If no one is home, ask the florist to call rather than leave flowers in the sun.
New parents often leave the hospital quickly. If the baby has arrived and the family is already home, or about to be, a home delivery a day or two later is often better than a race to the maternity floor.
Hurricane season ends November 30. Until then, storm warnings can delay orders.
Timing at the hospital itself is a little different from a home delivery. Before gifts go up to a room, South Miami Hospital checks that the patient is able to receive them, which is another reason to make sure you have the patient's full legal name. Order early in the day so there is time for that check. For a florist delivering from outside, the same name and, if known, the room or unit, plus your own phone number, are what the front desk will need.
